Travel insurance Vietnam

No. Travel insurance is not mandatory for Vietnam. We still recommend it because costs in private hospitals in Vietnam add up fast. LUMA covers your medical costs and arranges evacuation to a better-equipped facility if you need one.

Vietnam does not officially require travelers to have travel insurance. However, having adequate travel insurance coverage can provide peace of mind and financial protection in case of emergencies while you’re visiting Vietnam.

Look for cover across five areas: medical treatment for sudden illness or injury, emergency evacuation, motorbike accidents, baggage and travel delays, and trip cancellation. LUMA covers medical care and evacuation across the board, and the higher tiers add baggage, travel delay, and cancellation. 

Compare our plans online to see what each one includes.

No. Buy your travel insurance policy before you arrive in Vietnam. A quote takes only a few minutes online, so it is worth sorting before you fly.

Yes. Our plans cover motorbike accidents, including e-bikes and electric scooters. Vietnam runs on two wheels, so if you come off your bike on a Hanoi street or a Hà Giang mountain road, we cover the medical costs that follow.

The emergency medical number in Vietnam is 115. However, the standard of healthcare in Vietnam is not on par with most developed countries.

A better option may be to have a foreign-managed private clinic’s emergency number on hand.

It is not unusual for people with serious conditions to be evacuated to Bangkok, Singapore, or even back to their home countries.

It depends on your nationality. As of June 2026, UK passport holders and many European travellers can enter visa-free for up to 45 days, while US, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand travellers need an e-visa, which covers stays of up to 90 days and is issued online before you travel.


Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your entry date.


If you fly directly to Phú Quốc and stay on the island, you can visit visa-free for up to 30 days.


Check the rules for your passport on Vietnam's official e-visa portal.

LUMA travel insurance is underwritten by licensed insurers, including Bao Long Insurance Corporation, a Vietnamese insurer, and Rock Mutual. Which one covers your trip depends on your route, and the quote tool confirms it before you buy. Emergency assistance is handled by global partners such as Europ Assistance. LUMA International, the distributor, is registered in France under ORIAS No. 17 007 455.

Yes. LUMA has a team on the ground in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.

If something goes wrong on your trip, you are dealing with people who know the country and its hospitals.
