Local SIM cards in Vietnam are sold at airports (with a big markup for tourists), in travel agencies, and even by street vendors in tourist areas. But if you need a prepaid local SIM card without intermediaries at the real price of the mobile operator and registered in your name, you will have to visit an official communication store. Unfortunately, in Vietnam this is a complicated and tedious procedure, comparable to opening a bank account. That is, you need a passport, they will take your photo, you will have to sign something, etc. The whole procedure can take 30-60 minutes.
Communication stores can be found while walking along the street or on Google Maps by searching for the names of mobile operators. It is better to look for large stores with an atmosphere like a bank, because under the sign of mobile operators sometimes there are small private shops that sell or repair mobile phones, top up accounts, etc. In general, they do anything except sell and register a SIM card.
