TL;DR

Bao Viet is mentioned as a possible local insurer, but Russian-citizen eligibility and purchase after leaving Russia must be confirmed directly with the insurer. Before paying, check the policy start date and medical coverage in Nha Trang.

For local insurance in Nha Trang, start by contacting Bao Viet and ask whether it issues medical policies to Russian citizens who are already in Vietnam.

Bao Viet

If you left Russia more than two months ago, disclose this when applying. Confirm that the policy can be purchased during an ongoing trip rather than only before departure from the country of residence.

More than 2 months outside Russia

For a one-month stay, compare more than price: check the coverage start date, medical limit, exclusions and how to use clinics in Nha Trang. Do not buy until the insurer confirms coverage for a traveler already abroad.
