The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is located in Southeast Asia and has borders with Cambodia, Laos, and China. Vietnam also has coastline on the Gulf of Thailand, Gulf of Tonkin, and the South China Sea. The population is approximately 91 million people.
Vietnam is a communist single-party state. The chief of state is a president, and the head of government is a prime minister.
Vietnam’s economy has struggled to recover from the effects of years of warfare. In addition, the country lost financial support from the USSR after the dissolution of the Soviet Bloc. The government has made some changes to move from a centrally-planned economy to a market economy. Vietnam is presently considered one of the most rapidly growing economies in Southeast Asia.
Tourism has been increasing in Vietnam, and in 2010, there were over 5 million international visitors to Vietnam. Tourists can visit the many national parks, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, museums, pagodas, temples, as well as beach and seaside resort areas.

安全保卫工作在Vietnam
个人安全
Most travellers have no safety problems in Vietnam. Petty crime, such as theft or pick-pocketing, is common in Vietnam, especially from hotels, in tourist areas, and on crowded buses or trains. This is most prevalent in larger cities and may increase during major public holidays, such as Tet (Lunar New Year). Thieves on motorcycles sometimes grab bags and other valuables off of pedestrians and even other people on motorbikes. Travellers should ensure their personal belongings, valuables, and travel documents are kept safe at all times. Avoid showing signs of affluence, such as wearing expensive clothing.
Travellers should only use registered taxi services located outside the airport and check the fare with the driver before leaving. There have been reports of individuals posing as taxi drivers and forcing foreigners to withdraw money from automated banking machines. Never use a taxi if it is occupied by an unknown person other than the driver.
Never leave food or drinks unattended as there have been reports of drugging, robbery, and assault.
Scams targeting tourists occur, with gambling scams being the most common. Travellers should be aware that gambling outside of licensed casinos is illegal in Vietnam. Credit card forgery is also common in Vietnam. Travellers should be cautious when using their credit cards. Watch retailers closely and avoid using credit cards in smaller establishments.
Hotels will require guest passports in order to register them with the local authorities, however, it is not legally necessary for the hotel to keep your passport for the duration of your stay. Travellers may request their passports to be returned after hotel staff has registered them with the authorities.
Unexploded landmines are still a hazard in rural areas of central Vietnam. If travelling in these areas, do not step off of the road.
Everyone is required by law to carry photo identification at all time. Keep a photocopy of your passport, and keep your original passport in a safe place.
Safety standards for sports may not be adequate. Be cautious and have a reputable guide for adventure tourism. There have been reports of illegal tour guides offering tours that are illegal under local laws.
There is a high rate of road traffic accidents and fatalities in Vietnam. Drivers may not follow the expected rules of safe driving, and traffic laws may not be enforced. Roads may not be well maintained. Check with authorities before renting a motorbike or car. A Vietnamese driver license may be needed, and International Driving Permits may not be accepted. Rail travel is generally safe.
极端暴力
There is not much history of terrorism in Vietnam however, attacks cannnot be ruled out. Violent crimes targeting foreigners are rarer, but they may occur. In some cases, criminals have also used weapons such as knives and razors. Some localised violent clashes between protesters and police have resulted in casualties.
政治动荡
Demonstrations and strikes are prohibited in Vietnam and punishable with heavy penalties and jail time. Public demonstrations are rare as local authorities do not usually authorize them. Demonstrating without authorization can lead to heavy consequences. Public protests and events that draw large groups of people can also turn violent. Travellers should avoid any public demonstrations and always follow the advice of local authorities.
应避免的区域
Considering the recent organized attacks (in June 2023) on a police station in Dak Lak province, where several police officials were killed and many were injured, increased security presence is likely in Dak Lak. Travelers are advised to remain vigilant and avoid photographing the security forces or any demonstrations.
