Why you need it

Vietnam Is Incredible. The Medical Bills Are Not.

Travel insurance is not legally required for most visa types entering Vietnam. It is, however, strongly recommended by embassies, consulates, and every experienced traveler who has spent time here.

🏥

No free treatment for foreign visitors

Vietnam does not provide complimentary medical care to tourists or expatriates. Every doctor's visit, hospital stay, and prescription is a direct out-of-pocket expense.

Food poisoning treatment: ~$500 · Serious injury evacuation: $32,900+
💵

Hospitals require upfront cash payment

Local public hospitals in Vietnam often demand immediate cash payment before treatment begins. Without insurance, you may find yourself negotiating fees in a foreign language while in pain.

A good policy gives you direct access to international-grade private facilities — International SOS, Hanoi Family Medical Practice — without the cash barrier.

🚁

Medical evacuation from remote areas

Vietnam's most stunning destinations — Sapa, Phong Nha caves, the Central Highlands — are far from major hospitals. An air ambulance to Ho Chi Minh City or Bangkok can cost $50,000 to $100,000.

Emergency evacuation is included in every plan we offer.

🎒

Travel disruptions happen more often than you think

Flight delays, lost baggage, stolen passports, trip cancellations due to illness — these are daily occurrences at Vietnamese airports. Insurance covers the financial side of each one.

📍 Real story — Phuket & Vietnam

Vivian landed in Phuket full of excitement. Within hours of arrival, a high fever turned into severe abdominal pain and a rushed trip to hospital. Scared, alone, and in a foreign country, she faced an experience that most travelers hope they'll never have.

Then, on the way to the airport to fly home, her luggage was stolen — passport, phone, everything. Two major incidents. One trip.

Because she had travel insurance, neither event became a financial disaster. The hospital bills were covered. The stolen belongings were reimbursed. The paperwork was handled. She came home without debt.

$3,500
Total reimbursed — medical costs and stolen belongings — from a single trip. Without insurance, that money would have come out of her savings.

Common questions

What Travelers Ask Before They Buy

Straight answers, no jargon.

Is travel insurance required to visit Vietnam?

Not mandatory for most visa types. However, embassies and travel experts strongly recommend it given that Vietnam provides no free medical care for foreign visitors, and costs at private international hospitals are significant.

How much does travel insurance for Vietnam cost?

Plans start from $0.89 per day for the Silver plan ($70,000 coverage). Gold costs from $1.29/day ($100,000 coverage), and Platinum from $1.89/day ($200,000 coverage). Final price depends on your age, trip length, and coverage level.

How do I file a travel insurance claim in Vietnam?

Contact us immediately via WhatsApp or phone. Our team guides you through the documentation process in English — hospital invoices, police reports, airline paperwork. Once your complete file is submitted, the insurer processes payment within 15 business days.

Does the policy cover pre-existing medical conditions?

Coverage for pre-existing conditions depends on the specific plan and what you declare at purchase. Contact us before buying — we'll review your situation and recommend the right plan so you're not caught off guard during a claim.

Can I buy the insurance after I've already arrived in Vietnam?

Yes, it's possible to purchase after arrival. However, we recommend buying before departure. Certain benefits — trip cancellation, some pre-existing condition waivers — require the policy to be in place before travel begins.

Do I need to translate my medical documents from Vietnamese to English?

No. We handle document translation on your behalf as part of our claim support service. Submitting untranslated Vietnamese medical records is fine — attempting your own translation often introduces errors that slow down processing.

What happens if a hospital bill exceeds the equivalent of $500 USD?

For non-emergency treatments above this threshold, contact us before authorizing payment. Self-paying large medical bills without prior insurer approval can result in partial or full rejection of that expense during the claim review.

Does the policy cover motorbike accidents in Vietnam?

Standard plans cover motorbike accidents if you hold a valid local or international license and are wearing a helmet. Adventure or high-risk activity coverage may be required for off-road riding. Ask us before your trip to confirm your situation.
