Common questions

Do I need a plug adapter from France to Vietnam?

Yes. Vietnam uses Type A/F sockets, which France plugs do not fit, so pack a suitable adapter.

Will my devices work on Vietnam’s voltage?

Vietnam runs at 220V, 50Hz. Dual-voltage chargers (most phones and laptops) are fine; single-voltage devices may need a converter.
