I am leaving Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh with more than USD 5000.00. Anyone know the process and any fee to pay?

First thing is to be scrupulously honest about what you are carrying.  Failure to declare could result in complete forfeiture.

When your leaving Vietnam that amount of money best to declare it !

Note that gold in Vietnam is measured differently from cash, with different limits. On arrival you aren't required to declare under 300.000.000d of it. Probably  the same is true for export, better check, but if so, you could convert some cash to gold and legally avoid declarations.

Also, depends on where you are going next. The US for example will combine the value of cash and gold for the $10,000 import declaration limit.
