According to recent reports, the new restrictions did not affect Russian Agricultural Bank UnionPay cards, which continued to work across Asian destinations. For a Nha Trang stay, keep a backup such as cash VND, a second card, or another payment option.

For travel to Vietnam, Russian Agricultural Bank UnionPay is considered a usable option, but not one to depend on exclusively. Even without new sanctions issues, individual terminals may decline the card, so bring alternatives.
