Frequently asked questions

Is Vietnam safe for travellers?

Vietnam is considered one of the safest destinations in Southeast Asia. Serious crime against visitors is rare; the practical concerns are pickpocketing in crowded areas and care when crossing traffic.

Do I need a visa for Vietnam?

Citizens of more than 80 countries can apply for an e-visa online, usually issued within 3–5 working days. Some nationalities are exempt for short stays.

When is the best time to visit Vietnam?

October to April is the broad answer. Vietnam is long, so north, centre and south run on different seasons — we advise based on the regions in your itinerary.

How much cash should I bring?

Cards are widely accepted in cities and hotels, but keep VND in cash for markets, taxis and local eateries.

Does Vietnam work for MICE groups?

Yes. Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and Phu Quoc all have convention venues and hotels able to host large groups.

Can the itinerary be customised?

Every programme we run is bespoke. Give us your dates, budget and interests and we will build and revise the itinerary until it is right.
