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 Self-i App (formerly Reliance Self-i App) in case of any travel-related emergency.
Holidaying in Vietnam should only be about creating happy memories and not surprise bills. IndusInd Vietnam Travel Insurance (formerly Reliance Vietnam Travel Insurance) offers budget‑friendly, dependable coverage that protects your trip from take‑off to touchdown.

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
IndusInd Vietnam Travel Insurance safeguards your trip against everyday travel snags like lost baggage, delayed flights, missing documents and more. Tailored for a single traveller, this individual plan is the ideal companion for a journey through Vietnam’s buzzing streets and tranquil highlands. Below are the key features and coverage limits that distinguish this 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.

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.
