    FAQs

    Are credit cards widely accepted?

    Major cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City accept credit card (Visa, MasterCard, JCB, American Express) payments in upmarket establishments intended for the tourist market, such as high-end restaurants and mid-level or above hotels. Credit card payments are likely to attract a surcharge of 3.5% or more. Make sure to travel with enough cash when traveling outside the major cities. Additionally, there is the option to carry travelers’ cheques which can easily be converted to cash in any decent size city.

    Are laundry services available in hotels or the town?

    It is becoming more common for hotels to offer laundry service because more tourists are learning to pack light, but if they don’t, they can usually direct you to a reasonably-priced laundry service nearby.

    What are the best tips when traveling with children in Vietnam?

    • Take an umbrella and suitable clothes with you
      Since temperatures can vary from very hot to a sudden rainstorm in the dry seasons ranging from May to September in Vietnam, bring an umbrella and layer your clothing, ready for any weather changes. 
    • Keep water handy
      During Vietnam’s dry season ranging from May to September, your car should have air conditioning. Bottled water is also useful to have on excursions because you will be walking a lot and there aren’t many places to buy water near the sites, temples, and pagodas.
    • A stroller and some familiar items are helpful for travel with children
      Bring their favorite snacks and toys. Also, remember to pack some medical supplies like medicine and bandages. A stroller is highly useful to transport children and other items, like drinks or packages. 
    • Limit transfers as much as possible
      If you’re traveling with children, try not to do too much in one day.
    • Combine entertainment complex into your itinerary
      At entertainment venues such as parks, zoos, and game complexes, children can play on their own … Plan to take your children to these incredible locations so they can share these memorable adventures with you.

    What are the passport requirements?

    A passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the end of a journey in most countries. If your passport expires sooner, you will need to apply for a renewal before you leave. 

    What is the best option to arrive in Vietnam?

    The most convenient way to travel to Vietnam is to book an international flight that lands at one of the major airports. The largest airports are located in major cities such as Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Additionally, for travelers in this part of Asia, taking a train or bus from neighboring countries like Laos, China, or Cambodia is also an option.
