Traveling to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Sourced Full Vietnam guide →

Vietnam is an emerging value medical-travel destination: foreign patients and the large expatriate communities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City use a fast-growing private sector — Vinmec (the country's first JCI-accredited hospital group), FV Hospital, Hanoi French Hospital and Hoan My — for dentistry, cosmetic surgery, orthopaedics and screening at prices well below Singapore or the West. Care is self-paid, and the government has opened a 90-day e-Visa to every nationality.

Visa
Since 2026 Vietnam's e-Visa is open to all nationalities for up to 90 days, single or multiple entry (US$25 single / US$50 multiple), applied for online at the official portal and processed in about 3 working days; a passport valid 6+ months is required. Confirm your nationality's rule before travelling.
Medical / long-stay visa
Vietnam has no dedicated medical visa — patients travel on the standard tourist e-Visa (up to 90 days) and pay international hospitals out-of-pocket or via private insurance; longer treatment is handled by extending or re-applying for the e-Visa.
Arrival
Apply at the official portal evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn (avoid look-alike agent sites); e-Visas are accepted at 80+ air, land and sea ports. From 1 July 2026 many travellers must also file a health declaration within 7 days before travel.
Currency
Vietnamese Dong (VND, ₫) — cash is still king outside major cities
Languages
Vietnamese is the official language; English is spoken at international hospitals and by younger urban staff, but is limited in public facilities — international hospitals provide interpreters
Safety & recourse
Generally safe · Limited recourse — use a medical-travel insurer

General guidance — confirm current rules for your nationality with official sources. Verified against: Vietnam Immigration — official e-Visa portal · US ITA — Healthcare Resource Guide: Vietnam.
