How to pay for tours and tickets in Nha Trang if your foreign card doesn't work online?

TL;DR
Foreign (e.g. Russian) cards often fail for online payments in Vietnam, especially with an eSIM that has no phone number for confirmation. Easiest fix: buy tickets in person at a local travel agency with cash, or ask someone with a local card to pay online while you reimburse them in cash.

If you don't have a card that works for online payment, ask someone with a local Vietnamese bank card to pay for you, then reimburse them in cash or via bank transfer.

Paying for tours through apps like Trip.com with a foreign card often requires SMS confirmation, which fails if you're using an eSIM without a dedicated phone number.
