The Embassy of India in Hanoi has issued an advisory for Indian nationals travelling to Vietnam, highlighting key concerns related to visa rules and loss of passports.
The advisory notes that while Phu Quoc Island offers visa-free entry to Indian citizens under certain conditions, the exemption is strictly limited to the island and does not allow entry into mainland Vietnam.
It warned that in emergency situations such as medical needs or flight disruptions, travellers may be required to move to cities like Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi. In such cases, those without a valid visa for mainland Vietnam could face delays, travel restrictions and immigration-related complications.
