Do US, UK or Australian Citizens Need a Visa for Vietnam? (2026)

Short answer: Whether you need a visa for Vietnam in 2026 depends on your passport. US and Australian citizens do need one — most use the official 90-day e-visa ($25 single entry, $50 multiple entry).

Vietnam Visa Extension & Overstay 2026: Rules, Fines & Honest Fixes

Short answer: A Vietnam visa extension is limited in 2026 — a standard tourist e-visa cannot be extended from inside the country. To stay longer you either exit and re-enter on a fresh 90-day e-visa, or switch to a sponsored visa you can renew. Overstaying starts at 500,000 VND (~$19) in fines and, past 15…

This guide explains what each one costs, what you actually get,…

Getting around Ho Chi Minh City at night with KissTour women riders and guests on motorbikes

Getting Around Ho Chi Minh City Like a Local (2026)

Getting around Ho Chi Minh City in 2026 is easier than it looks: use Grab for door-to-door trips, the metro for the main downtown corridor, city buses for low-cost longer hops, and the Saigon Waterbus for a 15,000 VND ride along the river. In the dense District 1 core, walking is often fastest. Saigon's traffic…

Lantern boats on the Thu Bon River — Hoi An tour from Da Nang

Da Nang or Hoi An: Where Should You Stay in 2026?

Short answer: Choosing Da Nang or Hoi An comes down to pace. Stay in Da Nang for a modern beach city with big hotels, rooftop bars and an airport 15 minutes away. Choose Hoi An for its lantern-lit UNESCO Old Town and a slower, prettier feel. They sit only ~30 km apart, so plenty of…

Things to Do in Da Nang 2026: A Local’s Guide

Da Nang rewards three to four days. Cross the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills, climb the Marble Mountains for about 40,000 VND ($1.70), watch the Dragon Bridge breathe fire at 9pm on weekends, swim at My Khe Beach, then day-trip to Hoi An.
