Vietnam Travel Guide 2026-2027
Essential Overview for Indian Passport Holders
Vietnam remains a top-tier destination from Singapore. Whether you are an expat in the CBD or a student at NTU/NUS, the process for 2026 involves mandatory visas for the mainland, new electronic arrival cards for HCMC, and specific name-entry requirements. This portal summarizes all technical data from the official 2026-2027 report into an interactive planning tool.
The E-Visa (Primary Method)
RecommendedEligible for all Indian citizens since Aug 2023. This is the fastest method for travelers departing from Changi Airport.
⚠️ The “No Surname” Pitfall
If your passport leaves the “Surname” field blank and has everything in “Given Name”, you must follow the ICAO MRZ (the symbols at the bottom of your photo page).
Failure to enter names correctly results in mandatory entry denial at the gate.
Phu Quoc Exception
Indian citizens can enter Phu Quoc visa-free for 30 days under strict conditions:
- ✔️ Must fly directly into PQC (not via HCMC/Hanoi)
- ✔️ Must stay exclusively on the island
- ❌ Mainland entry requires a visa (no exceptions)
