Useful information for planning your holiday in Vietnam
If you’re heading to Vietnam, make sure your passport is valid for at least six months from your entry date, with a spare blank page. All travelers need a visa or pre-approval, except for e-Visa or visa on arrival options for most nationalities. If you’re cruising from Cambodia, get your visa stamped before boarding.
If Vietnam is on your travel list, make sure you’re protected. Get vaccines for hepatitis A and B, typhoid, and Japanese encephalitis. Since Vietnam is considered high-risk for rabies, a shot for that is a good call too. Depending on where you’ll be, malaria pills might be a good idea. Stay healthy on your adventure!
