When detecting foreigners illegally entering Vietnam without a passport

Please advise the administrative penalty for the following case: I have a friend from Thailand who came to visit but stayed for only 2 days and then returned to their country. I thought that with such a short duration, no declaration was needed. However, the authorities discovered this and fined me 1.5 million VND. Is this too high? What does the law say about this?

Pursuant to Clause 2(g), Article 17 of Decree 167/2013/ND-CP stipulates as follows:

A fine ranging from VND 500,000 to VND 2,000,000 shall be imposed for any of the following acts:

Allowing a foreigner to stay overnight without reporting temporary residence, failing to guide the foreigner to report temporary residence as stipulated, or failing to comply with other regulations of the competent authority.

Therefore, the administrative penalty for your conduct ranges from VND 500,000 to VND 2,000,000. As such, the imposition of a VND 1,500,000 fine by the competent authority is justified.

Sincerely!
