Significado
Welcoming someone to a place.
Contexto cultural
Hospitality is a core value. A host will often say 'Chào mừng' and then immediately offer food or drink. Refusing the first offer is polite, but you should accept the second. Welcomes tend to be slightly more formal and structured. The use of 'Chào mừng' is common in public spaces and formal family gatherings. The welcome is often more casual. While 'Chào mừng' is used, you'll more frequently hear 'Vô đây chơi nè!' (Come in here and play/hang out!). Banners are essential. If a company welcomes a partner, they will print a physical banner with 'Chào mừng' to show respect and importance.
The Smile Factor
In Vietnam, 'Chào mừng' is always accompanied by a smile. The word 'mừng' literally means you are happy, so your face should show it!
The 'You're Welcome' Trap
If you say 'Chào mừng' after someone says 'Thank you', they will think you are welcoming them to a new place again. Stick to 'Không có gì'.

You can say 'Chào mừng bạn đã về nhà' or more naturally, 'Mừng bạn đã về'.
It is neutral-to-formal. For very close friends, it might sound a bit 'extra', but it's never rude.
