Frequently Asked & Question
Vietnam stretches over 1,600 kilometers from north to south, which means its climate varies by region. Generally, the best time to visit is from November to April, when the weather is dry and temperatures are comfortably mild across most parts of the country. This period offers ideal conditions for exploring cities, beaches, and cultural landmarks alike.
If you're heading to the central region — including destinations like Hoi An, Danang, and Hue — the months from March to August are also excellent. You’ll enjoy sunny weather, fewer tourists, and often better hotel rates during this time.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the length of your stay. Many nationalities are eligible for visa exemptions for short stays (usually 15-45 days). Others may need to apply for an e-visa online in advance or obtain a visa via a Vietnamese embassy/consulate. We strongly recommend checking the latest official visa requirements for your specific passport country well before your travel date. We can provide general guidance, but the responsibility for obtaining the correct visa lies with the traveller.
While we do not include travel insurance in our standard packages, we highly recommend that all travellers purchase comprehensive travel insurance before departing for Vietnam. Good insurance protects you against unforeseen circumstances like trip cancellation, medical emergencies, lost luggage, and travel delays. Proof of insurance may sometimes be requested.
