Travel Insurance for Vietnam
Vietnam is just around five hours away from India by flight and remains busy year-round, with tourists worldwide. From cool mountain air to beachside fun, you will find everything there. Plus, a quick visa process adds to the appeal, giving you maximum discovery for every rupee spent.
From the lantern-lit lanes of Hoi An to the stepped rice fields of Sapa, each stop offers something different yet welcoming. You can ride a sleeper train, barter for silk or cruise past limestone cliffs in Ha Long Bay, all within the same trip. Major cities like Ho Chi Minh City balance modern cafés with centuries‑old temples, making short hops between sights easy and affordable. With so much variety, having Vietnam travel insurance from IndusInd (formerly Reliance General Insurance) keeps the travel-related hiccups from overshadowing the big memories.
Imagine you arrive in Sapa on the night train and discover that your backpack, containing your passport and camera, is missing. Your active Vietnam travel policy will cover the loss by offering you emergency cash. Our team works 24x7, so you can still climb up to witness the stunning sunrise without worrying about the paperwork for the claim.
Now, even though Vietnam travel insurance isn’t mandatory for Indian travellers, we highly recommend having one. We cover your trip from when you board the flight, and our plan stays active until you’re safely back home. Also, we have quick claim processes via the IndusInd Insurance App (formerly Reliance Self-i App) in case of any travel-related emergency.

Benefits of Buying Vietnam Travel Insurance
Medical Coverage
Vietnam packs a range of climates, from the humid Mekong Delta to the cool highlands of Da Lat. If a sudden change in weather leaves you needing a quick doctor’s visit, eligible medical bills are covered for up to $500,000 at any certified facility nationwide. You’re also protected for emergency dental care up to USD 500.
Passport Loss
Crowded spots like Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi’s Dong Xuan Market can make it easy to misplace your passport while browsing stalls. If it goes missing, our travel plan will reimburse up to $300 for re‑issue fees and related expenses, so your journey stays on track.
Flight Delays & Connecting Flights
Airports like Tan Son Nhat and Noi Bai fill up
during festivals like Tet. If your flight is
delayed for over 12 hours, IndusInd Vietnam
Travel Insurance pays up to $60 per day,
which is ideal when an onward connection
within Vietnam or beyond is unexpectedly
delayed.
Baggage Support
Touch down at Tan Son Nhat International Airport and learn that your suitcase stayed behind in transit? If your checked bag is delayed for more than 12 hours, we will pay up to $100 so you can purchase fresh clothes and toiletries. Should the airline declare it lost, you’re covered up to $1,500 toward replacing your essentials
Personal Liability
Busy scooter traffic in Ho Chi Minh City’s
District 1 can get tight. If you’re hiring a
motorbike and accidentally bump a parked
scooter or tip a street‑side coffee stand, our
personal liability cover steps in. We pay up to $200,000 toward the damage, so you avoid unexpected out‑of‑pocket costs.
Emergency Cash
If you misplace your wallet while sampling street food on Hanoi’s buzzing Ta Hien Street, our travel policy will cover up to $300 in emergency cash, helping you pay for meals, taxis and your room until new cards or funds arrive.
Individual Travel Plan
Family Travel Plan
Why buy 4 separate plans when you can buy one plan to cover your family of 4! Our family travel insurance plan offers coverage up to $250,000, and this coverage is shared among all family members. This makes policy handling and claims processing a lot easier since you'll just be using one plan to cover your entire family during your trip.

Types of Visas for Vietnam
Indians require a valid visa to travel to Vietnam, and fortunately, there are options to apply online for an e-visa, choose a Visa on Arrival (VOA) or apply through the Embassy. Planning your trip begins with selecting the correct visa. Here’s a quick look at the main options so you can pick the one that fits your travel plans.
Tourist Visa
If you’re travelling to Vietnam purely for sightseeing or downtime, opt for a Tourist (visit) Visa. Both single and multi-entry visas allow you to stay in the country for up to 90 days.
Business Visa
Visiting Vietnam to sign contracts, join meetings or scout investment opportunities? You’ll need a Business Visa. Choose single-entry or multi-entry, with validity that can last up to 12 months.
Student Visa
Planning to study in Vietnam? Once a Vietnamese school or university accepts you, apply for a DH (Student) Visa to cover your stay throughout your course.
Work Visa
Taking up a job in Vietnam? Apply for an LD (Work) visa after you receive a formal job offer. Your employer must first obtain a work permit from Vietnam’s Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs before you can submit your visa application
Investor Visa
Planning to put money into a Vietnamese business? You’ll need a DT visa. Four subtypes exist, based on how much you invest and the duration of your stay. The first three, DT1, DT2 & DT3, can later be upgraded to a temporary residence card.
Visa for Family Visit
The TT visa lets you stay in Vietnam for up to 12 months to be with family. You qualify if your spouse, parent or child is a Vietnamese citizen.

Interesting Facts About Vietnam
Shared Temple Roots- The Hindu ruins at My Son sanctuary display carvings of Shiva and Parvati, providing tangible evidence of ancient India-Vietnam ties that can be seen up close.
Ramayana Lives On- Village murals and water‑puppet shows retell the Ramayana in Vietnamese style, so the stories feel familiar yet fresh.
Vegetarian- Friendly Street Food- Stalls in Hanoi’s Old Quarter offer a variety of dishes, including “chay” (vegetarian) options, veg pho, tofu rolls and coconut curry, which are perfect for those who prefer meat-free meals
Coffee Like No Other- Vietnam is the world’s second‑largest coffee grower; try a thick “ca phe sua da” (iced coffee with condensed milk) for ₹100 or less.
Tailor‑Made in 24 Hours- Hoi An’s tailors can stitch a custom kurta, suit or sari blouse overnight, ideal for a quick wardrobe refresh.
Son Doong- As the world’s largest cave, Son Doong Cave is so vast it has its own jungle and clouds inside. Tours book up quickly, so plan ahead.
Bargain Culture- Bargaining is expected at markets like Ben Thanh and friendly negotiation often drops prices by 30-40%.
Cashew Capital- Vietnam Leads Global Cashew Exports. You can buy fresh, flavoured nuts at factory outlets for less than the prices in Indian stores.

Essential Apps for Your Vietnam Trip
Translation
Keeping Google Translate on will help you handle menus and road signs with the camera tool, even when offline. Papago is great for Asian languages and often nails local slang that other apps miss.
Accommodation and Hotel Booking
Trust apps like Trip.com that list prices in dong or dollars and take international cards without fuss. Agoda is handy for last‑minute deals and shows real guest photos, so you know what the room really looks like.
Navigation
Our favourite Google Maps charts walking routes and real-time traffic well across Vietnam’s cities. Moovit adds local bus and metro info, saving you from guessing which stop to get down at
Transport
Book rides on Grab or Gojek with a linked card to avoid cash‑change hassles. Voucher packs for a few thousand dong can further reduce fares. Additionally, if you wish to hop on public buses to roam around, BusMap is a leading app for navigating city buses.
Sightseeing and Events
Download Klook as it will let you reserve Ha Long Bay cruises, SIM cards and scooter rentals in one app. Tripadvisor’s reviews and “Nearby” feature help you spot hidden temples or street‑food tours on the go.
Food Delivery
Apps like Foody work like a local Yelp, packed with photos and honest reviews, from rooftop eateries to tiny pho carts. Vietnammm lets you filter by neighbourhood, making sure the restaurant actually delivers to your lane.
Key Takeaways
Indian interest in Vietnam is soaring. Visitor numbers jumped from 138,000 in 2022 to about 501,000 in 2024, fuelled by e‑visas and low‑cost flights.Yet travel snags are common. Globally, 23% of passengers faced a delay or cancellation in 2024. At home, demand for cover rose too, as Indian travel‑insurance sales grew by 18.95% in Q1 2025. These figures show why a safety net matters even on short breaks.
IndusInd Vietnam Travel Insurance (formerly Reliance Vietnam Travel Insurance) steps in with clear and high coverage limits. You get medical costs covered up to USD 500,000, personal‑liability protection of USD 200,000 and flight‑delay benefits of USD 60 per day if your flight is delayed for over 12 hours.
Imagine bargaining at the Ben Thanh Market for souvenirs and suddenly realising that your pouch, which had your passport and other essentials, is missing. In such a scenario, you can claim up to USD 300 for a lost passport and the same for emergency cash. All our plans run cash‑free and don’t need medical check‑ups, keeping payouts quick.
You can buy our policy starting from ₹306*, store the e‑policy in the IndusInd Insurance App and get access to 24×7 support from anywhere in Vietnam during your trip. Whether you travel solo or with family under one shared sum insured, coverage starts when you board and ends when you land home, letting you focus on lantern festivals and limestone bays, without worrying about travel hiccups.
