Before booking your journey to Vietnam, review the latest safety, entry, and visa requirements from official government sources. Guidance is updated regularly and can change at short notice. Kuwaiti citizens should also verify citizen-specific guidance through Kuwait MOFA before departure.

KAPICO recommends verifying current travel conditions with official sources. Our specialist team can also advise on visas, health requirements, and local conditions during your consultation.

A welcome from Vietnam

Xin chào

Sin chowHello, respected friend

Silk lanterns over Hoi An, pho steam at dawn, karst peaks in the mist.

Vietnam is lyrical — an S-curve of coastline, rice paddies stitched with conical hats, lantern-lit old towns. Life is lived on the street, over a low plastic stool and a bowl of pho.

Why Vietnam
Vietnam grabs you and doesn't let you go. Once you love it, you love it forever.
Anthony Bourdain
Chef, author & culinary traveller
