FAQ's about Indonesian Rupiah
Vietnam is very affordable for travellers. On average, you should budget VND 500,000 to VND 1,000,000 per day, depending on your location and travel style. Major cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City can be slightly more expensive, while smaller towns and rural areas are cheaper. Your budget should cover meals, transport, entrances, and general spending.
The Vietnamese Dong (VND / ₫) is available in coins and banknotes, though coins are rarely used.
Coins: 200₫, 500₫, 1,000₫, 2,000₫, 5,000₫ (limited circulation)
Banknotes: 1,000₫, 2,000₫, 5,000₫, 10,000₫, 20,000₫, 50,000₫, 100,000₫, 200,000₫, 500,000₫
Smaller notes are especially useful for taxis, markets, and street food.
Yes — cash is widely accepted throughout Vietnam. Markets, street vendors, taxis, small shops, and rural areas rely heavily on cash. Even in larger cities, many day‑to‑day purchases are still made using cash.
Foreign currencies such as US Dollars may occasionally be accepted in tourist areas, but this is not guaranteed and usually offers poor value. For everyday purchases, Vietnamese Dong is required and strongly recommended.
Tipping is not mandatory but is appreciated, especially in tourist areas. In restaurants, rounding up the bill or leaving a small tip for good service is welcomed. Guides, drivers, and hotel staff may also appreciate small discretionary tips.
Vietnam is well‑known for excellent value food:
Street food: VND 20,000–50,000
Local restaurants: VND 50,000–120,000 per person
Mid‑range restaurants: VND 150,000–300,000 per person
Tourist restaurants: VND 350,000+ per person
Street food such as pho, banh mi, and bun cha offers great value.
It’s best to buy enough VND to cover your first few days, including food, taxis, and small purchases. Because many everyday transactions are cash‑based, having sufficient cash throughout your trip is advisable.
The best time to buy VND is when the exchange rate is favourable. Monitoring exchange rates in the weeks before you travel can help you secure the best value.
The Vietnamese Dong is only used in Vietnam. Neighbouring countries such as Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand each have their own currencies.
We’ll buy back any unused Vietnamese Dong purchased through our Buy Back Scheme, allowing you to reclaim value once you return home.
You can buy Vietnamese Dong through Click & Collect, by visiting a branch, or via home delivery, ensuring your travel money is sorted before departure.
Carrying cash in Vietnam is generally safe with sensible precautions. Use a secure wallet or money belt, avoid carrying large sums, and store spare cash in your hotel safe, especially in busy tourist areas.
