Discover Vietnam,
your way.

No, Singapore citizens enjoy visa-free entry to Vietnam for up to 30 days. For stays longer than 30 days, you will need to apply for an e-Visa online before arrival.

There are multiple daily direct flights from Changi Airport (SIN) to major cities like Hanoi (HAN), Ho Chi Minh City (SGN), and Da Nang (DAD). Popular carriers include Singapore Airlines, Scoot, Vietjet Air, and Vietnam Airlines. The flight time is typically 2 to 3 hours.

The official currency is the Vietnamese Dong (VND). It is recommended to bring VND for small purchases, street food, and tips. You can easily exchange SGD to VND at jewelry shops or currency exchange counters in Vietnam for very competitive rates. Multi-currency cards like YouTrip, Revolut, and Trust Card are also widely accepted and let you withdraw VND at local ATMs.

Vietnam is in the GMT+7 time zone, which means it is exactly 1 hour behind Singapore (GMT+8). For example, when it is 12:00 PM in Singapore, it is 11:00 AM in Vietnam.

Yes! Vietnam is famous for its delicious street food and dining local is highly recommended. To ensure hygiene, choose busy stalls with high turnover rates, preferably where you can watch the food being cooked over high heat. Drink only bottled or purified water, and avoid tap water.

Vietnam works beautifully across all Singapore school holiday windows:

March break & June holidays — Central Vietnam (Da Nang, Hoi An, Hue) is at its best: dry, warm, and uncrowded. Perfect for families.

September holidays — Northern Vietnam shines: Ha Giang's rice terraces turn golden, Ha Long Bay weather is clear, and Sapa is stunning.

November–December year-end — Phu Quoc Island and Southern Vietnam are ideal: dry season, calm seas, and festive atmosphere. We recommend booking at least 6–8 weeks ahead as these dates fill up fast for Singapore families.

Vietnam consistently offers more variety and better value than Bali or Bangkok for Singaporean travellers. A 5-day private guided tour in Vietnam — including hotels, transfers, and a guide — typically costs less than a 3-night Bali villa package. You get UNESCO heritage sites, stunning nature, rich history, incredible street food, and a vastly different culture, all within a 2–3 hour flight from Changi. Most of our Singapore guests say Vietnam feels like a completely new destination even on their second or third visit, because each region (North, Central, South) is so distinct.
