Exercise normal safety and security precautions

Overview

Other things that New Zealanders travelling or living in Viet Nam should be aware of are: 

  • Road safety—check the safety of vehicles you rent or get a ride in, and helmets or other safety equipment. Be prepared for chaotic driving conditions on poor roads.
  • Crime – watch out for petty crime such as theft, especially in busy public areas and on public transport.
  • Scams—pre-book airport transfers, or make sure you’re taking a legitimate taxi.  

Due to the ongoing impact of Typhoon Yagi New Zealanders should exercise caution and where possible avoid travel in Northern provinces of Viet Nam, including Sapa, until the situation improves.
