News, services and visa tips for foreigners in Vietnam — updated regularly.
Travel insurance is NOT required to enter Vietnam — but most foreigners should still get it, because international hospitals demand upfront payment and emergency/evacuation costs are high. Here's a guide: why you need it, what to look for in a policy, and a big trap: many policies exclude motorbike accidents if you don't hold a valid licence.
You can bring unlimited cash into Vietnam — but above a certain threshold you must declare it at customs. Here's a guide: the USD 5,000 / VND 15,000,000 limit, what counts and what doesn't, how to declare and why to keep the receipt, the rules on gold, and the penalty for not declaring.
You can bring personal medication into Vietnam — but you need the right documents, and some medicines are tightly limited or banned outright. Here's a guide: the general rule, the documents to carry, limits on narcotic/psychotropic medicines, what you must never bring (like CBD/cannabis), and tips for a smooth customs experience.
