Insider Truths: Avoid Mistakes

πŸ“± The SIM Card Trap

Do not buy “pre-activated” SIMs from roadside stalls. The network will block them after 2 days. Go to an official Viettel or Vinaphone store. Bring your passport. Registration is mandatory by law.

🚫 The “Agency” Visa Site

Search engines list many “.com” visa sites. These are private agencies charging 3x the price. Only use the .gov.vn portal listed above. The official fee is $25 USD. Anything higher is a markup.
