Travel insurance for Vietnam — for US residents

These plans are for US residents travelling to Vietnam. Long distances, busy roads and a stomach bug — the ordinary reasons travelers here need a plan.

Why travelers insure this trip

  • Private hospitals treat visitors and expect payment; a serious case is often moved to Bangkok or Singapore, which is an evacuation claim.
  • Illness is the most common reason travelers see a doctor, and a mild case can still mean a hospital stay.
  • Motorbike injuries are common, and many policies only cover them with the correct license and a helmet.

What to weigh in a plan for Vietnam

  • A high medical evacuation limit — distance to advanced care is the real exposure.
  • Emergency medical cover with a reachable 24/7 assistance line.
  • The policy's wording on motorbikes.
  • Trip cancellation on non-refundable cruises, internal flights and tours.

Two dates that decide more than the price

The deadline for the pre-existing condition waiver and the deadline for Cancel For Any Reason both run from your first trip payment, not from your departure. Buying early keeps both open and costs no more.
