Roaming vs eSIM in Vietnam: cost comparison

Roaming your home carrier in Vietnam costs significantly more than a local eSIM.

US and EU carriers charge $10–20/day for Vietnam roaming. Vietnam has some of Asia's cheapest local data — roaming is exceptionally poor value.

Airport SIM kiosks at Tan Son Nhat and Noi Bai offer tourist SIMs for $2–8 for 10–30 GB. This is extraordinary value. An LTE.app Vietnam eSIM installs before landing and is similarly priced, with the advantage of zero airport queuing.
