Exercise normal safety and security precautions

Overview

Typhoon Kalmaegi is expected to make landfall in Viet Nam on Friday 7 November 2025. Heavy rain and dangerous winds may cause flash flooding and landslides. Transport, including airports and flights, may be disrupted. For queries about disrupted travel, please contact your airline or travel provider. Check local news and weather services for updates, and follow the instructions of local authorities, including any evacuation orders. 

You can read more about what to do during severe weather on our natural disasters page.

Other things that New Zealanders travelling or living in Viet Nam should be aware of are: 

  • Road safety—check the safety of vehicles you rent or get a ride in, and helmets or other safety equipment. Be prepared for chaotic driving conditions on poor roads.
  • Crime – watch out for petty crime such as theft, especially in busy public areas and on public transport.
  • Scams—pre-book airport transfers, or make sure you’re taking a legitimate taxi.
