What’s on in July

Timing a trip around these changes what you pay and what you can book.

  • Hoi An full-moon lantern nightdates shift yearly

    On the 14th day of every lunar month the old town turns off its electric lights and lights only lanterns, with music and candles floated on the river. Very crowded; walk, and book a room in the old town early.

  • Da Nang International Fireworks Festival

    Teams from several countries compete over the Han River on weekend nights in June and July. Hotel prices in Da Nang rise on show nights; reserve grandstand seats ahead or watch from the riverbanks.

Entry rules

E-visa before you fly for up to 90 days, about ₹2,380

  1. At least a week before you fly, apply for the e-visa on the official portal, evisa.gov.vn: passport scan, a recent photo, your entry date and the airport you will land at. The fee is US$25 single entry or US$50 multiple entry (for a side trip to Cambodia or Laos), paid by card and not refunded if refused.
  2. Approval usually takes 3 working days. Download the e-visa, check every letter of your name and passport number and the dates, and print it.
  3. At immigration, show your passport and the printed e-visa. There is no arrival card. Enter through the airport or border post named on the e-visa.
  4. Flying straight into Phu Quoc from abroad and staying on the island: no visa is needed for up to 30 days, but you need one to go on to the mainland. India's embassy in Hanoi advises getting the e-visa anyway, in case you have to reach the mainland in an emergency.

Carry: Passport valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive, with two blank pages; Printed e-visa approval letter; Return or onward ticket; Hotel bookings for the stay.

Use only evisa.gov.vn (the Vietnam Immigration Department's portal); look-alike sites charge two to four times the fee. The e-visa cannot be extended inside Vietnam, so choose its dates and single or multiple entry carefully.

Checked 2026-10; confirm with the embassy before you fly.
