India to Vietnam 2023 Requirements | Visa, Sim, Currency Exchange, Scams | Vietnam Travel Guide Ep 1 

Thanks Tina! You’re right, we should only exchange a small amount for immediate use, bus and all 🙂

Thank you dear ❤️❤️❤️

Ur georgeous

Sure! Glad it was useful 😇

Hi Ann! Thank you 😊 The mini Van is available right outside the airport. There will be drivers who will be waiting 🙂

Indeed! Vietnam is much more peaceful and beautiful 🙂

That’s awesome 😇😇

Thank you Ajay 😊

You can get it in any city money exchange. Convert INR to USD in India in Thomas cook or Orient Express or Bookmyforex. When you reach Vietnam, you can go to an exchange in Hanoi or wherever you land and get VND. You can ask your hostel people they will tell you the street to get the best prices. Hanoi one is mentioned in the video

Hi Madhumita! So cool to know that you’re going to Vietnam soon 😍 - as far as I know, currently direct extension of visa is not supported, so better do a visa-run or go to Cambodia and come back - it’s ok if you don’t have a return flight. Are you travelling solo? Maybe you can book an onward flight to Cambodia or bus. - exchange INR to USD in India and change to Dong when you get to Vietnam 🙂 Hope that helped 🙂

Thanks for this information. I am going on solo trip. Yeah actually I planned go to Bali for run visa and coming back to Vietnam. All your videos so informative. Don’t stop doing.

Hey Bruh! Sorry just saw your comment, yes they do have ATMs at Hanoi airport 🙈

@@sonisaloni thank you so much i came back from vietnam though on 2nd August hahaha had a wonderful experience thank you so much for your tips and videos it helped me alot 🙏🏽😃

@@bruhhh4432 so glad! Hope you had a good time 😇

Hi Vasu! There is no stamping fee. I just paid online 10-15 days ago to get the e-Visa 😇

​@@sonisaloni how much did u pay .. online its writtrn 25 dollar r needed .. n evisa paymnt is diffrnt everywhr

​@@sonisalonihi. I'm planning to go to Vietnam in November. But I haven't booked hotels so far. How can I get the evisa in that case?

Hey, thanks :)

Thank you Saurabh 😊

Hi Chintan! Sure! Itinerary Budget and details coming up soon 😇

It’s an evisa, please see link in caption

Hey Rhea! I was not asked for the vaccination certificate. Also I didn’t get the booster dose. You should be fine too 😇

Hey! I went in September- October :)

It’s 15k round trip next month 😇

Hi Sathyam! So excited to know that you will be visiting Vietnam. I have 2 itineraries. The first timer itinerary is here: instagram.com/reel/CjU6_NnA-eO/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= The offbeat itinerary is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nH08ZoG5ZRw.html Hope this helps 😊

Hey Arunima! You can but the exchange rate is usually very poor if you directly convert to dong 🙂

Hi Parthajeet! No, not required 🙂

I think it's better to change the exit airport on the visa to avoid any issues. You can mail the immigration. I got it changed too :)

Hi Priyanka! It depends on the exchange rate. That depends on where you get it exchanged. It also depends on the value of INR and Dong at that time that you go. For example, I paid Rs. 26.2k for 7Million VND. So, I paid approximately 3k extra compared to what you see on Google. To get the best deal, see money exchange companies or banks in your city who will give you the best exchange rate. Convert INR to USD. When you reach Vietnam, go to Hang Bao Street and convert USD to Vietnamese Dong. Hope this helps 😇

I went on 5th September 2022, 2 weeks back. I am still in Vietnam 😊

@@sonisaloni other than the visa what are the other documents the officials asking for

@@rrk183 nothing else currently. Nothing actually. They asked if I had a return flight and hotel booking but didn’t check if I actually had. But I had show my return flight at money exchange at airport with Thomas Cook Company

@@sonisaloni is tht an on arrival visa, or do we need to take the visa prior

@@rrk183 it’s E-visa, apply 10 days in advance, link to apply is in caption !

Hi Sam, please ask! 1. Yes, 3 days is enough in Hanoi. See the Hanoi Vlog here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wuHFJiHExKQ.html 2. Halong bay, you can book a day tour. I went with Gadttravel, DM them with my name on instagram.com/gadttravel/ , they will help out 🙂 3. Sapa mai I spent 1 day, I didnt like it so much as it was similar to Manali I saw silver waterfall & Quy Ho pass road trip. People usually go to climb the Fansipan but the weather should be very clear for that, else its risky. Some people do Fansipan on cable car which costs more. Some people stay with localities in Muong Hao Valley for experience but I think its very touristy thing to do, its better to visit actual local places like Hagiang than do this. I have explored much better places, check it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nH08ZoG5ZRw.html 4. Travel insurance mandatory toh nahi hai, but, if you want, go to policybazaar.com. I took Bajaj Allianz and Reliance. I tried to claim Reliance for something but they take a lottt of time, still not gotten it!

@@sonisaloni thanks for such a detailed reply. Cool, really Appreciated🙏😊pls do visit Pune.

I think i split mini bus with 3 other people and it was like 500 per person

😇😇😇

Hey Amrutha! I stayed in Central Backpackers. You can book it on Hostelworld.com :)

@@sonisaloni thank you so much for suggesting, it helps

For the fast track one (which you will get in 2 days) it's 55 dollars. The one you will get in 10 days is 25 dollars.

😇😇😊

If you have an Indian bank account, you can send from that

Viettel is the best

@@sonisaloni taking sim at the airport is easier and simple? So would you recommend activating international plan on our Airtel/jio ? Or using local sim?

I don’t think so. I was using a zero forex markup card. Apply for the Niyo Card from their app. You ll get it easily within a week 😇

@@sonisaloni but i read reviews from spp store has poor ratings as one said that it didnt work in sweden so is PayTM payemnet card better VISA one and i paid vietjet tickets in this

@@sonisaloni i applied niyo but not linking to upi..so if sbi upi or paytm upi (international payments on) works there too?

@@toanmolsharma I don’t think UPI will works overseas Anmol! You can only use credit, debit or forex cards.

@@sonisaloni oh thank you didi i will use paytm payments bank card forex hai and i paid vietjet flight in this card..as well i locked niyo card not working paytm is far better

Second one will give better exchange rate 🙂

hey Vijaya! Currently I am not there but i will post again when i go there :)

I was sick, you wont believe I was on antibiotics :( I only know video kaise banaya hai. Just see my other videos, this is not my normal voice 😂

Hello @AkShimla 🙂

So glad it was useful 😇
