FAQ

Common questions about Vietnam

A platform for living in and travelling around Vietnam. Some of it we run ourselves, the rest we gather in one place:

  • Our own services: Fast Track at airports, transfers and e-visas
  • A catalog of vetted partners
  • A free guide: 9 sections and 407 articles

The team lives here rather than advising from abroad

About the project

No catch. You message a manager on Telegram and a real person answers, usually the same day. Ask about anything (a flight, a visa, a SIM card, prices) and you're not signing up for anything. You only pay if you order one of our services

Message the manager

From our own services: Fast Track, transfers and e-visa help. The guide and the catalog stay open because people who figured Vietnam out with our guide usually come back to us when they need a service

All of it, but not evenly:

  • Fast Track5 airportsDa Nang, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc

  • We don't run tours
  • We don't handle work or business visas, only e-visas

Housing rentals and our own currency exchange are on the way but not live yet. For now we change money through partners in the catalog

Someone meets you at the aircraft door with a name board and walks you through the priority immigration lane. Your passport stays in your hands throughout.
