3.3. Keep Yourself Updated with The Latest Visa Requirements
Before flying from Delhi to Vietnam, Indian passport holders are generally required to obtain a visa. The e-visa allows for both single and multiple entries, valid for up to 90 days, and can be applied for online through the Vietnam Immigration Portal. Processing typically takes three to five working days, but it is strongly recommended to apply at least one week in advance to avoid unexpected delays.
To ensure accuracy and avoid fraudulent services, always verify requirements through the official Vietnam Immigration website or by contacting the Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate in India. Once your e-visa is approved, be sure to print a copy of the visa approval letter to present during airline check-in and immigration upon arrival in Vietnam.

3.4. Find The Right Place to Exchange Currency
When traveling from Delhi to Vietnam, it's advisable to convert part of your funds into Vietnamese Dong (VND) for daily expenses like taxis, meals, and shopping, especially in areas where international cards might not be widely accepted. Currency can be exchanged at airports, major banks, or licensed exchange counters in cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. While airport exchanges offer convenience, their rates are often less favorable than those found at banks or in city centers.
The exchange rate from INR to VND typically ranges from VND 280 to VND 300 per INR 1, depending on the day and provider. It's best to check updated rates through trusted financial apps or at major Vietnamese banks. For security, avoid unlicensed street vendors to prevent scams or counterfeit money.
Request smaller denominations like VND 10,000 or VND 50,000 for easier transactions, and carry both cash and an international card. To minimize risk, only exchange the amount you need rather than large sums at once.
When visiting Vietnam from Delhi, exchange money at licensed places, carry small bills, and avoid large cash for safety (Source: Vietnam Airlines)
