3.3. Do Research on Current Visas

If you hold an Indian passport, obtaining a visa is a mandatory step before entering Vietnam. The most convenient and efficient way to do this is by applying for an e-visa through the official Vietnamese government portal.

To complete the process, you’ll need a passport with at least six months of validity, a recent digital passport photo, a scanned copy of your passport’s bio page, and a processing fee of approximately USD 25. The approval usually takes between 3 to 5 business days. By securing your e-visa in advance, you’ll ensure a smooth entry into Vietnam and avoid any last-minute travel disruptions.

3.4. Be Mindful of Time Zone Differences

Ho Chi Minh City is 1 hour and 30 minutes ahead of Delhi. For instance, when it’s 10:00 AM in Delhi, it’s already 11:30 AM in Ho Chi Minh City. This slight time difference can be easy to overlook but may lead to confusion when booking flights or scheduling activities.

When booking your flight, double-check local departure and arrival times to avoid errors or delays, which can result in missed connections or scheduling mishaps.

To help you adjust more easily to the new time zone, consider changing your watch or phone clock to Ho Chi Minh City time as soon as you board the plane. This simple habit helps you mentally align with your destination’s schedule, especially helpful if you have appointments or planned activities shortly after landing.
