Came into Tan Son Nhat airport in Saigon for my upcoming wedding and before I came, I searched the net, as well as the Canada and USA official govt websites, and all indicate u can bring $7000 max without declare. so i decide bring $7000 even. Now when i got to customs, they said to me the limit is $5000 and even pointed to a sign outside that said so. They then said they might have to confiscate some cash, but I said to them I got $7000 info from canada and us websites so its their fault for not updating. then they said its my fault for not researching properly. then i finally asked them to give me their computer so i can show where i got my info, then they said, "no no its fine, just dont bring in more than $5K next time"
The money was for the wedding by the way. Anyway just a heads up for u guys, the "limit" is $5000
