Vietnam eSIM Pricing 2026: Plans, Costs & How to Save 15%
July 09, 2026 · Thành Nam Nguyễn
If you've decided a Vietnam eSIM is the way to stay connected on your trip, the next question is simple: what does it actually cost? This page lays out every plan, the price per day, what you get, and how to take 15% off any plan before you check out — no hidden fees, no fine print you'll regret later.
Vietnam eSIM pricing is refreshingly straightforward once you know how to read it. Every plan here runs on the same core structure — 5GB of high-speed data per day, nationwide coverage, hotspot enabled, and activation only after you arrive in Vietnam — so the only real difference between plans is how many days you need.
Vietnam eSIM Prices at a Glance
Here's the full lineup, from a short weekend trip to a full month of travel:
| Plan | Validity | Data | Price | With SAVE15 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lite Traveler | 3 days | 5GB/day | $9.80 | $8.33 |
| Digital Traveler | 7 days | 5GB/day | $18.90 | $16.07 |
| Vietnam Explorer | 15 days | 5GB/day |
|
$29.33 |
| Vietnam Nomad | 30 days | 5GB/day | $45.90 | $39.02 |
Every plan includes instant delivery, nationwide coverage, and hotspot/tethering — and none of them lock your validity until you actually land in Vietnam.

A flat 15% off applies to every plan on this list with the code SAVE15. It works on all four plans, so whether you're grabbing a 3-day Lite Traveler or a 30-day Nomad, the discount stacks on the listed price. The prices in the right-hand column above already show what you'll pay with the code applied.
The Number That Actually Matters: Cost Per Day
Headline prices can be misleading when plans have different lengths. The fairer way to compare — and to see where the value is — is cost per day. Here's what each plan works out to daily, after the SAVE15 discount:
| Plan | Days | Price with SAVE15 | Cost Per Day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lite Traveler | 3 | $8.33 | ~$2.78/day |
| Digital Traveler | 7 | $16.07 | ~$2.30/day |
| Vietnam Explorer | 15 | $29.33 | ~$1.96/day |
| Vietnam Nomad | 30 | $39.02 | ~$1.30/day |
The pattern is clear: the longer the plan, the less you pay per day. The 30-day Nomad plan works out to roughly $1.30 a day for 5GB of daily data — for context, that's often less than a single day of international roaming from most home carriers, which can run $5–15 per day for far less usable data.
What You're Actually Paying For
It's worth being clear about what's included at these prices, because "cheap" only matters if the plan actually delivers. Every Vietnam eSIM plan here comes with:
5GB of high-speed data, every day. Not a shared pool for the whole trip — a fresh 5GB allowance each day that resets. A heavy day of maps, streaming, and photo uploads doesn't eat into tomorrow's data.
Nationwide coverage. The eSIM connects to major Vietnamese mobile networks, covering the cities, coast, and main tourist routes — Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Hoi An, Ha Long, and beyond.
Hotspot enabled. You can tether other devices — a laptop, a travel companion's phone — to your eSIM connection. Not all travel eSIMs allow this, so it's a genuine plus for anyone traveling with more than one device.
Instant delivery. The QR code arrives by email right after purchase. No waiting, no shipping.
Activation only after you arrive. This is the detail that matters most for value: your validity period doesn't start when you buy or install the eSIM — it starts when your phone connects to a local network in Vietnam. Install it at home days before you fly, and you won't lose a single day of what you paid for.
An Honest Note on What This Pricing Is Not
To keep this straight rather than salesy: these plans are not unlimited. You get a generous 5GB per day, which comfortably covers maps, ride-hailing, messaging, social media, and a match or a couple of hours of streaming on most days. But if you're the kind of user who streams HD video for many hours daily or moves huge files, a capped daily plan is worth understanding before you buy.
For the vast majority of travelers, though, 5GB/day is more than enough — most people don't come close to using it on a normal day of sightseeing. The pricing reflects a clear, defined product rather than an "unlimited" plan with hidden throttling in the fine print.
Which Plan Is the Best Value for Your Trip?
Price per day tells you the 30-day plan is cheapest daily — but the best value is the one that matches your actual trip length, so you're not paying for days you won't use.
Weekend or short trip (2–3 days): Lite Traveler at $8.33 with SAVE15. No point buying more days than you'll be there.
One-week holiday: Digital Traveler at $16.07. The most common trip length, matched exactly.
Two-week or multi-city trip: Vietnam Explorer at $29.33 — already discounted from $39.99 before SAVE15 even applies, making it the standout deal of the lineup.
Long stay, slow travel, or remote work: Vietnam Nomad at $39.02. A full month of daily 5GB for around $1.30 a day.
The simplest rule: round to your trip length, then round up slightly if your dates have any flex. Because activation only starts on arrival, buying early never costs you anything.

FAQ
How much does a Vietnam eSIM cost?
Plans range from $9.80 for a 3-day Lite Traveler to $45.90 for a 30-day Nomad plan, all with 5GB of data per day. With code SAVE15, that's $8.33 to $39.02 — roughly $1.30–$2.78 per day depending on plan length.
Is there a discount code for Vietnam eSIM?
Yes — code SAVE15 takes 15% off any plan at checkout, applied to all four plans.
Why is the longer plan cheaper per day?
Longer plans spread the cost over more days, bringing the daily rate down. The 30-day plan works out to around $1.30/day, versus about $2.78/day for the 3-day plan. That said, the best value is the plan that matches your actual trip length.
Are these Vietnam eSIM plans unlimited?
No — each plan includes 5GB of high-speed data per day, which resets daily. It's generous for typical travel use but not unlimited. Very heavy streaming or large file transfers should account for the daily cap.
When does my paid validity start?
Only when your phone connects to a local network after you arrive in Vietnam — not when you buy or install the eSIM. This means you can install it days in advance without losing any of your validity.
Does the price include hotspot/tethering?
Yes — hotspot is enabled on all plans, so you can share your connection with a laptop or another device at no extra cost.
