FAQs

As travel agents, we frequently receive a variety of questions before the trip-planning process even begins. Everything from the best period to book to determining if travel insurance is worth it. We love being able to share our professional expertise and personal experience with our clients, offering them confidence that their holiday will be nothing less than exciting.

While it may seem too early to plan a holiday, it's always a good idea to research travel tour prices ahead of time and book as soon as a suitable offer has been identified. "When it comes to the winter holidays from October to February in the next year—the priciest time of the year—your best bet is to book the tour service before this period," according to my own experience. "Look to book between one to two months ahead for domestic travel and two to 6 months ahead for international travel."

Travel insurance might provide financial protection if you need to cancel an expensive, nonrefundable vacation for an accepted cause.

Travel insurance can also cover health care costs if you experience a medical emergency while overseas.My advice is to get travel insurance.

It is a good idea to check if you need a visa for Vietnam before applying for one, since this will save you both time and money, especially in times of crisis.

According to official announcements, residents of 25 countries will be able to travel to Vietnam and stay for 14 to 45 days (depending on nationality) without requiring a visa beginning in 2024.

To enter Vietnam, such citizens just require a valid passport with at least two black pages. The complete list of these countries can be found this link : //www.vietnam-visa.com/vietnam-visa-exemption/
