Officially Vietnam is an atheist country, but in spite of this the country has a number of major religions with many devout worshippers; the largest religions include the country’s various Folk Religions, Buddhism, Catholicism, and the unique Cao Dai Faith. Cao Dài (“High Palace”), is a syncretist modern Vietnamese religious movement first founded in 1926. According to the Caodaists, all religions share the same origin and recognize the same Supreme Being in some way. The purpose of Cao Dài as a whole is to unite all worshipers by demonstrating their fundamental sameness, while each practicer’s goal is to unite him or herself with the Supreme Being.

The majority of the country speaks Vietnamese, a unique language that reflects the country’s blend of racial & cultural traditions. Owing to its status as a one-time Chinese province, the majority of the country’s vocabulary comes from the Chinese language. For written communication, the country uses a language called ‘Quoc-ngu’, or, National Language, which utilizations the Roman alphabet in conjunction with accents & other signs, which was first introduced by a French missionary in the mid-17th Century.

Tourists are authorized to import the following duty free: 1.5 quarts of liquor; 200 cigarettes or 100 cigars or 500 grams of raw tobacco; perfume and jewelry for personal use; and souvenirs and gift items valued at not more than $300 USD. Declare foreign currency in excess of $7,000 USD.

TELEPHONE Country code: 84. To call Vietnam from North America, simply dial: 011 + 84 + Area Code + Phone Number MOBILE TELEPHONE Before departing on your journey, check with your cell phone provider regarding the international packages they offer; otherwise, if you have an unlocked cell-phone, you can purchase a local SIM card at the airport so that you may use your phone freely throughout the country. INTERNET Internet is readily available in Vietnam’s major cities and most hotels offer complimentary Wi-Fi. There is restricted access to internet sites critical of the government and one party system and internet café owners are required to keep customer's personal information, including name, address and identification numbers, for 30 days. POST The postal service in Vietnam is reliable, although it may be a bit slower than what you are accustomed to. If you’re wanting to send a letter, many hotels have a “mail drop”, or you can take it into a local Post Office, or, "Buu Dien". One thing to note is that sending packages in/out of Vietnam can be difficult and may take weeks due to the lengthy inspection process. MEDIA Vietnam's media is tightly controlled by the country's leadership, and repressive laws restrict what journalists are able to write. In recent years, citizen journalists have become the country’s main source of independent news, but they do so at the risk of increasingly harsh punishments. ELECTRICITY 220V with a frequency of 50hz - a currency converter is required for your devices. More about travel adapters here

For clothing, breathable cotton shirts & other moisture-wicking garments are recommened; lightweight items that can be layered to help deal with chilly evenings are helpful, as well. An umbrella is useful, as are a light rain jacket and good walking shoes. Don’t forget sunglasses, mosquito repellent, sunscreen and a hat to protect you from the sun. While some hotels carry them at the front desk, we’d also recommend packing a voltage converter for plugging in your personal devices. Public restrooms in Vietnam may not have toilet tissue so you may want to carry a small amount of tissue with you for use during touring. Due to restricted weight limits on all of Vietnam’s domestic flights (20kg/44 pounds), it is recommended that you travel light. Additional information available here

Currency conversion calculator can be found here The country’s monetary unit is the Vietnamese dong (VND); all foreign currency should be converted at a Bank of Foreign Trade or authorized exchange counters. While in years past the US Dollar was accepted at local shops, today most shops will instead ask for payment in the local currency. CHANGING MONEY You will be able to exchange most major currencies with ease in Vietnam; in the majority of the country’s big cities, you can exchange currency at one of the local banks, at the front desk of the larger hotel chains or even at some of the jewelery shops in major markets. When changing money it is extremely important that you use crisp, fresh bills without tears or other imperfections - in some cases, if the bill is damaged you will be charged 3 - 4% of the note’s value, or they will not exchange it at all. CREDIT CARDS Most commonly accepted credit cards (Visa, Master Card, JBC & American Express) are honored at leading hotels, restaurants and shops in Vietnam’s major cities; however you may be charged a small fee between 3- 4% per transaction, so you may want to check before making any purchases.

While it can be overwhelming anytime you visit a foreign country, there are a few helpful tips to keep in mind to avoid offending the locals. In general, the Vietnamese people value modesty & respect, and most social customs place the greatest emphasis on the elderly. Unlike in western countries, conservative clothing is more of the norm here, and public displays of affection beyond hand holding are frowned upon. When visiting temples, avoid wearing shorts & tops that show your shoulders. PHOTOGRAPHS It is polite to ask permission before taking photographs as some people may take offense.

Vietnam is a relatively safe country for visitors, but as is the case across the world, tourists are targeted for a variety of petty crimes: pickpockets & drive-by purse snatching on motorcycles are the two most common methods. If you must carry them, it is advisable to store your passport, currency and other valuables in a concealed money belt; when not needed, we recommend storing your passport & other valuables in the safe at your hotel.

United States Citizens require a Visa. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival into Vietnam. Alluring Asia can assist you in obtaining a visa prior to your departure.
