Frequently Asked Questions: Vietnam
Helpful answers to common logistics and planning questions for Indian travellers visiting Vietnam.
How does the Vietnam e-visa process work for Indian citizens?
Indian passport holders can apply for an electronic tourist visa through the official Vietnam Immigration portal. The fee is $25 USD per person for a 30-day single entry visa, paid online via credit/debit card. It takes approximately 3 to 5 working days to receive the PDF e-visa, which you print out and present at the airport immigration counter. Passports must have at least 6 months validity from departure.
Is an overnight Ha Long Bay cruise suitable for seniors and young children?
Yes. Modern 4-star and 5-star cruise boats in Ha Long and Lan Ha Bay feature wide indoor dining saloons, elevator access on newer vessels, and comfortable air-conditioned cabins with attached bathrooms and private balconies. Excursions like kayaking and cave hikes are completely optional; seniors can comfortably stay aboard the sundeck and enjoy the scenery.
Can Indian vegetarian and Jain meals be arranged on cruises and day tours?
Yes. In cities like Hanoi, Da Nang, and Hoi An, our itineraries include visits to established Indian restaurants. For overnight cruise vessels, we notify the chef in advance to prepare vegetarian dishes (steamed rice, tofu, stir-fried vegetables, and vegetable spring rolls). For strict Jain diets, we provide specific meal advice and coordinate with cruise operators.
How do we travel between Hanoi and Da Nang?
We book domestic flights between Hanoi Noi Bai Airport (HAN) and Da Nang International Airport (DAD). The flight takes only 1 hour and 20 minutes, compared to 14 to 16 hours by overnight train. All our package quotations include 20kg checked baggage allowances on domestic sectors.
What is the currency in Vietnam and how should I carry money?
The local currency is the Vietnamese Dong (VND). Because Indian Rupee cash is not directly exchanged in Vietnam, travellers should carry uncreased USD $100 notes (which get the highest exchange rates at airport counters, banks, and authorized gold shops) or use an international debit/forex card at local bank ATMs.
