Travel Insurance for Vietnam
As Vietnam slowly opens up its borders to tourists again, its lesser known islands and attractions that have been closed to the world for two years is now ready to accept its first travellers! 
Check if your country has any travel advisories in place for Vietnam. Do note the current requirements for residents in Vietnam such as mask wearing and social distancing in public areas.
All travellers need a visa to enter Vietnam, even for a short stay. Make sure you check the visa requirements of your country and apply for the correct type of visa before your trip. 
There are a wide range of accommodation options available in Vietnam, from luxury resorts to budget hotels. Do some research to find the right place for your needs and budget.
Make sure you are adequately covered by a travel insurance policy before your trip. Check the policy carefully to see what is and isn’t covered, so you can travel with a peace of mind.

While Vietnam is relatively safe, there are still some scams that travellers should be aware of. The most common scam is the taxi scam, where the driver charges an exorbitant amount for a short ride. Be sure to only use reputable taxi companies and agree on the fare before getting into the car.

Traffic in Vietnam can be chaotic, and visitors should be cautious when crossing the street. Take heed from the locals and learn a tip of two about how they avoid oncoming motorbikes, tuk tuks and cars.

It maybe slightly overwhelming the first few times, but the key is staying confident. Start your road crossing with purpose and be quick on your feet. 

Vietnamese street food is world-renowned and definitely worth trying during your time in the country. However, it’s important to be cautious about consuming street food which can lead to food poisoning.

Try to visit stalls that look clean, and where the food is cooked fresh in front of you. If possible, avoid eating raw vegetables and fruits to ensure that any bacteria is safely removed through proper cooking.
