Nomad eSIM Data Plans for Vietnam

Nomad does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for Vietnam. All of Nomad’s Vietnam plans have a finite data allowance, even though some plan names contain the word “unlimited.” For example, the Regional APAC 5‑day plan gives 37.5 GB of high‑speed data, the Local Vietnam 5‑day plan supplies 2 GB per day, and the Regional APAC 45‑day plan offers 50 GB. Once a plan’s data limit is reached, the data speed is throttled to lower speeds, typically still within the 3G/4G network but at reduced speed.

If you need a large amount of data without the unpredictability of throttling, fixed‑data plans such as the 75 GB 10‑day or 50 GB 45‑day options may be more cost‑effective, especially for heavier usage. These plans cover Vietnam and, in many cases, neighboring APAC countries.

Nomad does not provide eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability for travelers in Vietnam. The available Nomad eSIMs for Vietnam are data‑only, allowing users to connect to the internet and use messaging and calling apps over data such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage.

Nomad provides 7 single‑country data plans that cover Vietnam only and an additional 32 multi‑country plans that include Vietnam in their coverage. Of the plans that incorporate Vietnam, 2 are daily data‑cap models—where a limited amount of data is allocated each day—while the remaining 37 plans are fixed data plans, offering a set data amount for the entire validity period. Prices for these plans range from $5.50 to $170.00, and data caps vary from 1 GB up to 75 GB, giving travellers flexibility in both cost and data usage.
