Current Travel Situation
Puerto Rico to Vietnam: What You Need to Know
Vietnam extended visa-free access to US citizens for up to 45 days as part of its 2023 tourism recovery initiative. Puerto Rican residents on US passports benefit from this arrangement. For longer stays, an e-Visa for up to 90 days can be applied for online.
How to Get There
For stays beyond 45 days, apply for the Vietnam e-Visa (USD 25 for up to 90 days) before travel. Multi-country Southeast Asia trips combining Vietnam with Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand are popular.
Money & Banking
Vietnam uses the Vietnamese dong (VND). Cash is essential. ATMs are available in cities. Cards are accepted at hotels and larger restaurants. Exchange at banks or gold shops for favorable rates.
Practical Tips
US citizens can extend beyond 45 days by applying for an e-Visa before or during travel. The north to south train journey is a popular way to see the country. Book Ha Long Bay cruises in advance. Cash is essential especially outside major cities.
