The original representatives of Ecuador, India, Portugal, and Trinidad and Tobago were unable to compete for various reasons, which caused their national directors to promote the runners-up to the title or assign other participants as replacements.
At this competition, six countries were expected to debut. Eleven countries that competed at the 10th edition withdrew due to a lack of national licensees, and eight countries returned to the competition after being absent in previous contests. Initially, seventy-four country and territory franchises confirmed that they would send their candidates to Vietnam. Those that did not compete were Equatorial Guinea (failed to appoint a delegate), Miss Grand Guadeloupe (unknown reasons), Miss Grand South Sudan (visa problems), Miss Grand Sri Lanka (family death), and Miss Grand Portugal (refused to participate).
