Final Tips for a Smooth Arrival
Stay Connected
Purchase a local SIM card (Viettel, Vinaphone) at the airport or activate an eSIM before you travel for instant data access and navigation.
Organize Documents
Keep your passport, visa, and booking confirmations in an easily accessible travel wallet, not buried in your checked luggage.
Arrange Transport
Pre-book an airport transfer or use a ride-hailing app like Grab for reliable and fair-priced transport to your hotel.
Carry Local Currency
While cards are common, have some Vietnamese Dong (VND) for smaller purchases like street food, taxis, or market goods.
Notify Your Bank
Inform your bank about your travel dates to avoid your cards being blocked for suspicious activity.
Learn Basic Phrases
A simple “Xin chΓ o” (Hello) or “CαΊ£m Ζ‘n” (Thank you) can go a long way in creating positive interactions.
