Useful Information for Vietnamese Travelers
If you're a Vietnamese traveler looking to attend these events, keep in mind that Singapore does not require a short-term visa for Vietnamese citizens staying under 30 days. For flights, you can easily find tickets from Hanoi (HAN) or Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) to Singapore (SIN), with prices ranging from 2 million to 5 million VND one way, depending on when you book. The currency in Singapore is SGD, with an exchange rate of about 16,000 VND for 1 SGD. A tip for enjoying free events in Singapore is to prepare a small amount of cash for food and drinks on-site, as many events will feature delicious food stalls.
