Based on 1 discussion with 2 participants · Last activity: 12 days ago
TL;DR
UnionPay is accepted at most shops and hotels with card terminals in Nha Trang — sometimes contactless, sometimes chip. Sber/VTB QR codes work only at select locations. Keep some cash dong for places without terminals.

A Bybit card works at bank terminals where available. If no terminal is present, the card can be linked to the Nihao app to pay via Alipay and WeChat Pay QR codes.

It's advisable to exchange a couple hundred dollars into Vietnamese dong cash, and use UnionPay at terminals where available — it works at most places that have card readers.
