Vietnam for medical travel — safety, recourse & visa

Sourced Full Vietnam guide →

What matters if it goes wrong, and what it takes to get there — country-level, verifiable guidance in one place.

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
Traveller safety
Generally safe
Legal recourse
Limited recourse — use a medical-travel insurer
Insurance
Medical-travel & complication cover widely available
