Are you a globetrotter, checking off countries from your bucket list? If you are, then you must surely head to Vietnam at least once. It is truly a place like no other.
Wait! Before you start packing your bags, did you think about purchasing a Vietnam travel insurance policy? If you have the habit of travelling without such cover, maybe it’s time for you to change your outlook.
Travel insurance for Vietnam can reduce your financial liabilities if you face unforeseen situations during the trip. For instance, you fall prey to theft while in Vietnam, leading to the loss of your passport and other vital documents. In such a case, your travel cover should kick in and reimburse your financial losses, allowing you to acquire replacements.
No, travel insurance is not mandatory for Vietnam travel. However, the right question would be whether Vietnam travel insurance is necessary.
Travel insurance is always a necessity, regardless of your destination. It can prevent sudden financial liabilities related to medical, accidental, or other needs.
Further, travel insurance for Vietnam from India also offers a payout in the event of loss of baggage in transit and important travel documents, such as a passport.
A $50,000 Vietnam travel insurance plan from India for 4 days-1adult is starting from ₹395 (excluding GST).
Vietnam is a popular tourist destination among Indians, and visas are essential for Indian passport holders planning a trip there. However, with an online visa application on arrival, it is now easier for Indian citizens to get a Vietnam visa.
After applying online, Indians arriving in Vietnam can get their visa at one of Vietnam’s participating international airports, including Ha Noi, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City, and Nha Trang.
