Question 1

Do Indians need a visa for Vietnam?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Indian citizens must apply for an e-Visa online at the official Vietnam Immigration portal. The e-Visa costs USD 25 (~₹2,100) for single entry, valid for up to 90 days. Processing takes approximately 3 working days — apply at least a week before travel.

Question 2

How long is the flight from Bangalore to Vietnam?

Accepted Answer

There are no direct flights from Bangalore to Vietnam. Connecting flights via Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, or Bangkok reach Hanoi (HAN) or Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) in 7–11 hours total. Return fares typically cost ₹20,000–35,000.

Question 3

What is the total cost of a Vietnam trip from India?

Accepted Answer

A 7-day budget trip costs ₹40,000–55,000 per person (including flights). Mid-range is ₹55,000–80,000. Vietnam is one of the most affordable international destinations for Indians — food, transport, and accommodation are very cheap locally.

Question 4

What is the best time to visit Vietnam from India?

Accepted Answer

March to April is the ideal window for a full Vietnam circuit as it covers the dry season across most regions. October to December is great for central Vietnam (Hoi An, Da Nang). Avoid June to August for northern Vietnam due to intense heat and typhoon risk.

Question 5

What currency should Indians carry to Vietnam?

Accepted Answer

Vietnam uses the Vietnamese Dong (VND). Carry US Dollars from India and exchange them for VND at authorised money changers in Vietnam for the best rates. Credit cards are accepted in cities; carry VND cash for street food and markets.

Question 6

Is Vietnam safe for Indian tourists?

Accepted Answer

Vietnam is a very safe destination for Indian travellers including solo female travellers. Watch for bag-snatching on motorbikes, carefully count change, and only exchange currency at reputable outlets. Traffic in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City is hectic — move steadily when crossing roads.
