Vaccinations:

It is advisable to speak to your doctor and get your health status. Vaccinations depend on which city you are planning to visit in Vietnam. You should surely take the standard vaccinations for rabies, typhoid, hepatitis A and B, malaria prophylactic, etc. Just check the travel vaccination requirement on the official site because some vaccinations should be given four to six weeks before the departure.

Money:

Vietnam currency is Dong(VND) and is the accepted currency for doing any transaction across the country. Many hotels, restaurants, souvenir stores, etc. accept credit cards, and if cash is needed, you can withdraw it from the ATMs in the cities and towns. The maximum amount dispense limit from the local banks is low, and hence you should try withdrawing from ANZ and HSBC bank. They allow a higher amount of withdrawal.

Do not prepare yourself of VND beforehand because the exchange rate may not be favourable and also, do not exchange at the places that don’t look official. It can turn out to be illegal, and you can be ripped off.

Travel Insurance:

Purchase your travel insurance at the same time when you book your Vietnam tickets. This way, you are securing the amount which you might get back if you have to cancel your trip for any personal reason. For this ask your ​Vietnam tours operator for any recommended insurance company that will guide with the travel plans. Once you are insured, carry the travel insurance copy everywhere you go throughout Vietnam. Also, share the insurance details with family before you leave your own country. This is advisable because, in case of any emergency or accident, you can get instant treatment from the local hospitals.

Handy apps:

Travel apps are the saviour while you are travelling to any country. While travelling to Vietnam, add Triposo App, Currency conversion apps, Translation apps, WiFi apps, etc. Make sure you are going to have an internet connection throughout the travel.
