VIFA EXPO returns to Ho Chi Minh City, staged across SKY EXPO Vietnam and the WTC EXPO, with its 2027 (18th edition) run scheduled for February. It is one of Vietnam's leading international furniture and home-decor fairs, showcasing wooden furniture, outdoor and indoor pieces, handicrafts and home accessories to a broad base of overseas buyers, importers and sourcing agents. The show fills its halls with hundreds of exhibitors and heavy international trade traffic over its multi-day run, making it a key sourcing stop for the region's wood and home-furnishing trade. Ho Chi Minh City is large and busy, and the SKY EXPO and WTC EXPO venues sit toward the city's northwest and outer districts, so hotels within convenient reach of the halls fill quickly around the fair and rates rise as buyers arrive from overseas. Those who book late can face long daily commutes through the city's dense traffic. Event Escapes shows live, bookable rates sorted by real distance from the venue, so you can see exactly how close each property sits before you book.

How do you get to VIFA EXPO?
From Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN)
- Tan Son Nhat (SGN) is close to the city centre; a taxi or ride-hail into District 1 typically takes 20-40 minutes depending on traffic.
- Reaching the northwest fair venues by road can take longer, so factor in transfer time from central hotels.
- Use the official airport taxi ranks or the Grab app rather than unbooked street cabs.
How do you get around during VIFA EXPO?
Getting to the venue and around Ho Chi Minh City
- Grab (ride-hailing by car or motorbike) is the easiest and cheapest way to get around and to reach the fair venues door-to-door.
- Metered taxis from reputable firms are widely available; confirm the meter is running.
- Traffic is dense and motorbike-heavy, so allow generous time for transfers to the outer-district venues on show days.
Do you need a visa for VIFA EXPO?
Entry guidance for Vietnam
- Vietnam offers an e-Visa through its official government portal to many nationalities, and some passports enjoy short visa-free entry.
- Apply for the e-Visa in advance where required, and check the permitted length of stay for your category.
- Ensure your passport validity meets Vietnam's entry requirements.
Entry requirements change and depend on your nationality, so verify the current rules with the official Vietnamese government e-Visa portal or nearest embassy or consulate before booking travel.
First time at VIFA EXPO?
- Confirm which of the two venues your appointments are in, as SKY EXPO and WTC EXPO differ in location and commute.
- Install Grab before arriving; it is the simplest way to move around the city and reach the halls.
- Carry small denominations of Vietnamese dong for taxis and street purchases, and a card for hotels and larger stores.
- Book early and keep a free-cancellation rate, as fair week tightens hotel supply near the venues.
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- If most of your meetings are at the outer venues, consider a hotel closer to that side to cut daily commute time through heavy traffic.
- Use Grab bikes for short, faster hops when car traffic is gridlocked, if you are comfortable on a motorbike.
- For business dinners, District 1 offers the widest choice of upscale restaurants, though allow travel time from the fair.
- Arrange shared transfers or a scheduled car for venue runs to avoid the daily scramble for rides at opening and closing.
