Buying a SIM card at Ho Chi Minh City airport is very easy β€” stands with them are literally everywhere. However, it's important to know that mainly tourist SIM cards are sold here, which are already registered to another person and have a prepaid package of internet and minutes.

Where to buy:

  • Before passport control (in the baggage claim area).
  • In the arrival hall of the international terminal T2.
  • Outside immediately upon exiting the terminal.

Prices and tariffs:

  • Minimum cost starts from 200,000 dong (about 600 rubles). For this money, you'll get a SIM card with an internet package (usually several gigabytes) and minutes for about 7 days.
  • There are options for longer periods (10, 30 days) with more data, but they are, of course, more expensive.

Modern alternative: It's much more convenient and often cheaper to buy a SIM card or eSIM online before the trip. For example, on Trip.com, you can choose a tariff, pay with a Russian card, and receive a QR code for an eSIM or instructions for picking up a physical card at the airport. Prices there start from 60 rubles!

Important: If you're planning a long trip (a month or more), it's more cost-effective and correct to buy a SIM card at an official telecom store in the city (e.g., Viettel, Vinaphone, Mobifone), registering it with your passport. This will be cheaper in the long run.
