Affordable holiday in Vietnam: 2026 tours, visas, prices and where to go

# Why Vietnam this autumn–winter

Vietnam's dry season returns in October–November, making it a practical choice for a sun-and-sea holiday. Travel packages aimed at the coming months combine direct flights, baggage allowance, insurance, transfers and 8–12 nights' hotel stays. ANEX Tour's figures give concrete starting prices and local costs to help plan a realistic budget.

# How much do package tours cost

# Visa rules and costs

• Phu Quoc island: Ukrainian tourists have a visa-free regime for stays up to 30 days. Phu Quoc has its own international airport.
• Mainland Vietnam (Nha Trang, Phan Thiet, Da Nang): a 90-day single-entry tourist e-visa costs $25.

Choose Phu Quoc to avoid visa fees and simplify entry when the 30-day limit matches your travel plans.
