A simpler way to use mobile data while visiting Vietnam

A travel eSIM gives your compatible phone a separate mobile-data profile without requiring a removable plastic SIM card.

What is a Vietnam travel eSIM?

01

A Vietnam eSIM is a digital mobile-data plan that can be installed directly on a compatible smartphone using a QR code.

02

Instead of searching for a physical SIM after arrival, you can buy your plan online and complete the installation before your flight. Once you reach Vietnam, select the eSIM as your mobile-data line, enable data roaming for that profile and connect to the supported local network.

03

Your physical home SIM can usually remain in the phone. On compatible dual-SIM devices, this means you may continue receiving OTP messages, calls or notifications on your usual number while using the Vietnam eSIM for mobile data.

Why travelers choose eSIM

  • No physical SIM delivery or airport collection
  • No need to remove and store your home SIM
  • Installation can be completed before departure
  • Easy access to maps, ride-hailing and messaging after landing
  • Multiple plan sizes for different trip lengths
  • Convenient for solo travelers, families and business visitors

How to choose the right allowance

A small fixed-data plan may be enough when you mainly use maps, messaging and occasional searches. Choose a larger allowance if you regularly use social media, work remotely or upload photos and videos.

An unlimited option may be more convenient for intensive daily use, but always review the live plan description and any fair-use or network-management conditions before buying.

Choose a plan, receive your installation QR instantly and arrive with your mobile-data setup already prepared. It is one less task to handle after a long flight.

Câu hỏi thường gặp

Những điều khách hay hỏi

Will the Vietnam eSIM work as soon as I arrive?

The plans are listed under the Xin Chao network profile and operate on the VNPT network in Vietnam. Actual connectivity varies according to location, terrain, buildings, device capability and local conditions.

Can I share the connection through a mobile hotspot?

Hotspot availability can depend on the selected plan, device and network rules. Check the live plan conditions before purchase when tethering is important for your trip.

When should I install my Vietnam eSIM?

Install it before departure while you have a reliable internet connection, but follow the selected plan’s activation rules carefully. Some validity periods may begin upon network connection or another specified event.
