How to Prepare for Gap Year Vietnam Trips

If you ask students who have experienced gap year Vietnam trips, you will be surprised that many of them have planned out their trip months in advance. And they can attest to how enjoyable and successful their trips were. Some travel to Vietnam with other friends on their own, while others arrange their trips with travel abroad agencies such as Go Discover Abroad. Doing so offers many advantages because these agencies normally arrange for the accommodations of their clients, including their meals and transportation to different attractions. But regardless of whether you travel on your own or avail of trip packages, there are still necessary preparations that you need to do at least one month before your scheduled trip.

Foremost in the things you should prepare in advance are your passport and visa. Citizens of most ASEAN countries, including some European countries, are not required to get a visa to travel to Vietnam, but have only a limited number of days to stay there. If you are planning for an extended stay, a visa is required. A visa is also required for citizens of most countries that are not members of the ASEAN countries. When your visa and passport are ready, you need to plan for your actual trip and make the necessary bookings for your travel from your country to Vietnam. You should be able to plan out your budget, where you want to go, the duration of your stay, who will accompany you, what are the things to bring, and other small details of your trip. Make a checklist of these things, and be sure you already know them several weeks before your scheduled trip.

However, during the summer months which are considered peak season for its tourism industry, most of its attractions can be very crowded with people and costly.
