Explore Vietnam: Detailed Travel Guide by a Female Scientist & Engineer
From March to May, Vietnam is a time of fewer tourists and beautiful scenery. I’ve put together a travel guide for Vietnam late at night for my fellow travelers. If you’re planning a trip to Vietnam soon but don’t have a specific plan, be sure to keep this note handy!
🌈 Pre-travel tips:
1⃣ Passport: Valid for more than 6 months, no damage
2⃣ Visa application: Before planning your trip to Vietnam, don’t forget to get your e-visa! It usually takes 3-5 days.
🔸 Landing visa: A pre-approval letter is required for a landing visa.
🔸 E-visa: You can apply from home, fill out the form (instructions at the end of the images), simple and convenient, highly recommended!
✅ Regarding the visa, I applied for an e-visa, just need to prepare your passport + photo, the process is simple. It’s recommended to apply before traveling. Upon arrival, just exchange the printed e-visa for a paper visa, avoiding long queues and zero communication, smooth entry.
🌈 Cost of living
The most expensive city in Vietnam is Ho Chi Minh City, but overall, it’s comparable to the cost of living in a third-tier city in China, making it a high-value-for-money tourist destination. Generally, for two people traveling in Vietnam for 7 days with moderate requirements, about 3000 RMB per person is sufficient.
🌈 Pre-travel preparation:
Original passport, visa, flight tickets, hotel reservations, umbrella, common medications, mosquito repellent, sunscreen, power bank, and arrange a SIM card or internet card and credit card in advance.
