Great tips and suggestions as usual!
Just one thing, if bringing your own currency into Vietnam make sure the notes are pristine or in very good condition, no wrinkles, crinkles or torn notes, they are likely to not be accepted when trying to exchange them. 👍

I owe you a beer. Ive been here nearly two months, and had been struggling to minimize bank costs. You mentioned that VP bank ATMs give foreign cards considerably more than the usual 3 Mil Dong limit. I get 5 free ATMs and no overseas fees with ING bank, and i took out 12 Mil today no probs. ....Keep up the good work.

Good call on TP Bank - I use that one - cleanest ATMs and I just grab 5m every couple of weeks.

I think you will find in a hospital you will still pay up front first and then claim back from insurance later - insurance largely irrelevant if you can’t stump up the necessary Dong to get stitched up.

video just put away my worries re cash money using international MC @ VP bank, many thanks Nam! Huge HELP!

Good advice. Riding a motorcycle is dangerous, I had to ride to my factory every day for three years. Tet holiday is awful, all grocery stores and most restaurants closed for up to 4 days straight.

For visitors who visited other countries and made some pricier purchases in those countries - e.g. Japan (that is above the max limit of the Vietnam duty allowance) prior to arriving in Vietnam, and where those items would are meant to be taken back home in America, what should the traveller do? Is the visitor obliged to declare the full value at Vietnam customs and risk paying duty on something that would not be staying in Vietnam?

Good to hear you mention the ATM situation. There's a UK bank called Starling which has no ATM withdrawal fees. That's what I was planning to use upon arrival. I'll need to find out where the local VP branches are in HCMC.
I'll certainly need the sunblock with my fair Scottish skin! 😉

Thanks for the informative video! I'm planning to move to Viet Nam (Ho Chi Minh City) in November. I'll definitely be looking into health insurance. Do you know if the health insurance plans offered by schools for English teachers are adequate, or should I expect to have my own policy in addition? Also, I'd be very grateful to know if chlorthalidone and atorvastatin are available there. And I've heard that you can get medications without a prescription. Is that true? Sorry for the bombardment.

dunno if its changed since but I used to always be able to take out 5Mil at a time from either HSBC or Korean Bank ATM's down in PMH... couple of them in one go would do me for almost a month for petty cash!

I have had five neck surgeries back in 2010 and 2013 unfortunately I still suffer from severe pain. My pain doctor back in the US prescribed 60 mg of morphine per day. I am in Thailand now and have no problem getting it from my doctor at the hospital here. if I were to come to Vietnam to stay for a month or two and brought my own medication would that be a problem. it sounds like if I went to the hospital and needed medication I would be out of luck please let me know your thoughts..

Hi Taff, I'm flying with Vietnam Airlines from London to HCM via Ha Noi. Transit time at Ha Noi airport less than 3 hours. My question is, do I go through Immigration at Ha Noi or HCM. Also when I apply for evisa do I put point of entry as HCM or Ha Noi. My destination is HCM. Just need clarification.
Any updates on 3 month tourist visa ?

Having health insurance is important, but I honestly don't think anyone buys it while they may only stay less than 30 days. I have never purchased health insurance for all my travels in the past. Luckily I never needed it. Does having insurance in the states cover it?? or booking with my major Credit card for travels to cover it? if I do rent a car, I always buy insurance for the vehicle.

dont come till they change the visa thing enjoy
