Current Travel Situation
South Sudan to Vietnam: What You Need to Know
Vietnam has significantly liberalized its visa policy in recent years, introducing the eVisa system that covers most nationalities including South Sudan. This makes Vietnam one of the easiest destinations for South Sudanese travelers to access, requiring only an online application and no embassy visit.
How to Get There
Vietnam's eVisa allows single entry per application. Multiple entry visas are also available. Travelers already holding a valid eVisa do not need to visit an embassy. Cambodian and Laotian visas can often be obtained on arrival, making a Southeast Asia multi-country trip easy from Vietnam.
Money & Banking
Vietnam uses the Vietnamese Dong (VND). ATMs are available in cities and tourist areas. Credit cards are accepted at hotels and larger restaurants. Cash is preferred for street food, local transport, and smaller shops. Techcombank and VietinBank ATMs have good international card compatibility. Avoid money changers on the street; use banks or ATMs.
Practical Tips
Vietnam's eVisa portal is user-friendly; fill in all fields carefully to avoid rejection. Print two copies of your approved eVisa to carry through immigration. Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Hoi An, and Ha Long Bay are top destinations. Motorbike taxis (xe om) and Grab app are efficient for local transport. Vietnamese food (pho, banh mi, bun cha) is extraordinary and affordable.
