Know Before You Go

Visa Requirements

Most visitors to Vietnam will need a visa to enter the country. Citizens of many countries can apply for an e-Visa online, which is valid for a 30-day, single-entry visit.

Be sure to apply for your visa at least 15 working days before your departure date to avoid any delays.

Currency

The official currency in Vietnam is the Vietnamese Dong (VND).

Credit cards are widely accepted in major cities and hotels, but smaller shops, markets, and rural areas may only accept cash.

It’s a good idea to exchange some money into local currency before you arrive or upon arrival at the airport.

Language

The official language is Vietnamese. While English is spoken in tourist areas, it may not be widely understood in more rural or remote locations.

Learning a few basic phrases like "Xin chào" (Hello), "Cảm ơn" (Thank you), and "Tôi không hiểu" (I don’t understand) can be helpful and appreciated by locals.

Weather & Climate

Vietnam’s climate varies by region. In the north (Hanoi, Sapa, Ninh Binh), it can be cooler and even chilly during winter (December to February).

The central region (Da Nang, Hoi An) has a tropical climate with hot summers and mild winters.

The south (Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta) is warm year-round with a wet season from May to October.

Always check the weather forecast for the specific areas you’re visiting and pack accordingly.

Electricity & Power Plugs

Vietnam uses 220V electricity with A, C, or D-type plugs (two flat pins or round pins).

If your devices have a different plug, bring a universal adapter.

Time Zone

Vietnam operates on Indochina Time (ICT), which is UTC +7 hours.

Vietnam does not observe daylight saving time.

Safety & Health

Vietnam is generally a safe country for travelers. However, like in any destination, take common-sense precautions. Keep an eye on your belongings, especially in crowded areas and tourist spots.

Vaccinations: It’s recommended to get vaccinations for Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Typhoid, and Tetanus. Make sure you check with your doctor for any other recommended vaccinations.

Travel Insurance: Always purchase comprehensive travel insurance that covers health issues, accidents, and cancellations.

Water: Avoid drinking tap water in Vietnam. Stick to bottled water, which is widely available.

Local Etiquette & Culture

Respect for elders is highly valued in Vietnamese culture, so be polite and show deference to older people.

When entering someone’s home or a temple, it’s customary to remove your shoes.

Dress modestly when visiting temples and religious sites—covering your shoulders and knees is generally required.

Public displays of affection are frowned upon in more rural or traditional areas.

Tipping: While not compulsory, tipping is appreciated. It’s common to leave small tips (around $1-2) for guides and drivers.

Transportation

In the city: Taxis, ride-hailing apps like Grab, and motorbike taxis are common and affordable.

Long-distance travel: For longer trips, Vietnam has an efficient train and bus network, but flights are often the fastest option for destinations like Hanoi to Da Nang or Hanoi to Sapa.

Motorbikes are a popular mode of transport in Vietnam. If you choose to ride one, make sure to wear a helmet (it’s required by law).

Food & Drink

Vietnamese cuisine is delicious and diverse, ranging from pho (noodle soup) to banh mi (sandwich) and spring rolls.

Street food is widely available and generally safe to eat, but make sure it’s fresh and cooked to order.

Don’t miss trying Vietnamese coffee—either strong black coffee or a sweet iced coffee with condensed milk (ca phe sua da).

If you have food allergies or specific dietary needs, be sure to inform your guide or restaurant in advance.

Connectivity

SIM Cards & Internet: You can easily buy a local SIM card at the airport or from mobile shops. The major providers like Viettel and Mobifone offer good coverage and affordable data packages.

Wi-Fi is widely available in hotels, cafes, and most public spaces.

Shopping Tips

Bargaining is common in markets and smaller shops. Start by offering a lower price than what is initially quoted, but be respectful during the negotiation process.

Souvenirs to consider include silk products, handicrafts, tea, coffee, and lacquerware.

Emergency Numbers

Emergency (Police): 113

Fire Department: 114

Ambulance: 115

Customs Regulations
