Is Ho Chi Minh City(Saigon) Safe To Visit Now?

Last month we saw the local people doing some anti-China protest by looting and many factories owned by businessmen from Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Singapore in industrial zones of Binh Duong and Dong Nai, were damaged severely.

Taiwan have issued a yellow and orange travel alert for Ho Chi Minh City at that time.

Since I am travelling there soon, I tried to get advice from our Ministry Of Foreign Affairs Malaysia.

This is reply I got from them. They response very fast. Good jobs!

Basically, it’s safe to travel to  Ho Chi Minh City now.

===============

Dear Mr. Alan,

I refer to your email on the above matter.

2.        For your kind information, our Embassy in Ho Chi Minh City informed us
that the situation in Ho Chi Minh City has resumed back to normal and is currently under control. Almost all companies have also resumed their operations.

Thus, our Embassy informed us that at this moment, it is not necessary to issue any travel advisory to Vietnam.

3.         However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would like to advise all
Malaysian visitors to be vigilant during their visit to Vietnam and to avoid
visiting any affected areas.

4.         The above is for your kind information and attention please.

Regards,

Thank you.
