It is advisable to contact an approved vaccination institution, such as the websites mentioned, to receive specific vaccination advice tailored to your personal health situation and travel plans. They can provide you with the most current and relevant information about vaccinations for your trip to Vietnam.

If it is not possible to take sufficient medication with you, it is often possible to obtain the necessary medication in Vietnam with an (English) prescription from your doctor.

In some cases you can also have a prescription written by an English-speaking Vietnamese doctor. This can be useful if you need new medication on site or additional prescriptions.

However, always ensure that you contact your GP or a medical professional before traveling for advice and guidance regarding your specific medication needs during your stay in Vietnam.

Under current legislation, foreigners can only acquire ownership in certain projects that meet the criteria for international home ownership. This can be done, among other things, through a long-term lease contract, where you have the right to use the property and enjoy all the rights as an owner during the contract period.

However, it is advisable to seek professional advice from a lawyer or real estate specialist who is familiar with local regulations and procedures to guide you through the purchasing process. This way you can be sure that you meet all the requirements and your rights and interests are protected when purchasing a house or apartment in Vietnam.

1. Traffic Rules and Customs: Although the basic traffic rules are similar to those in Europe, the practice in Vietnam is very different. There are many unwritten rules and traffic customs that are difficult for us Westerners to understand, which can lead to dangerous situations. Moreover, the police in Vietnam are very strict on traffic rules, even for minor violations. A speeding violation of only 10 km/h over the speed limit can result in a large fine and the surrender of your driving license for several months.
2. Parking: Parking in Vietnam is often difficult. Especially on main streets, many people have a small business from home and want to reserve the space in front of their house for their customers. If you park in front of their door and go to a supermarket or restaurant further away, this is usually not accepted. This can lead to annoying situations and makes parking in Vietnam a challenge.
3. Driving license: A Dutch or international driver's license is not always considered valid in Vietnam. Although it may be sufficient to rent a car, it can cause major problems if you get into an accident. We recommend that you check with your insurance company.
4. Deposit: When renting a car without a driver, you often have to pay an unreasonably high deposit. This deposit is not immediately returned when you return the car. Due to the increasing number of cameras that record traffic violations, it can take up to two weeks or longer before you receive the deposit back. This is because rental companies wait for any reports of violations before they refund the deposit.

For these reasons, we usually recommend choosing a rental car with a driver. This is not only safer, but also ensures that you do not have to worry about traffic, possible fines, parking problems, or the hassle of deposits.
