Format

In 2022, Miss Universe Vietnam announced the change of some parts of the format, including:

• The number of contestants participating in the final round is only 40 instead of 45 as in previous years.
• The age limit of contestants is raised from 26 years old to 28 years old.
• There will be the Top 16 instead of 15 as in previous years (one contestant will be added based on audience votes)
• There will be a national costume contest accompanied to the MUVN season to find out the best national costume to be the winner's fellow-traveller at Miss Universe 2022
• An unprecedented event, each judge will have a "golden ticket", which can be given to any contestants making a good impression on our tough judges, and that lucky girl will have a special privilege to directly enter the Top 71 semifinals.
• After each broadcast of the program 'I am Miss Universe Vietnam 2022', 5 contestants will be eliminated (except for episode 2, only 3 contestants will be eliminated) and 33 contestants will enter directly. At the press conference of Top 40 contestants, 7 "silver tickets" will be awarded to the contestants who were eliminated in the Top 71 semifinals.

In an unprecedented move, contestant Đỗ Nhật Hà was awarded an honorary "golden ticket" and entered the Top 71 semifinals, becoming the first openly transgender woman to compete in Miss Universe Vietnam.
