🌴 Phu Quoc Travel Guide for Indian Tourists — Your Perfect Tropical Escape 🌞
Phu Quoc, Vietnam’s largest island, is quickly becoming one of the must-visit international destinations from India — thanks to its pristine beaches, adventurous activities, lively nightlife, and visa-friendly policies for Indian passport holders.
This guide covers everything you need to know: flight connectivity, visa rules for Indians, top sightseeing places, nightlife, Indian food availability, MICE suitability, honeymoon appeal, and why Phu Quoc is perfect for a 3–4 night getaway.
✈️ Flight Connectivity from India
Historically, there were no direct flights between India and Phu Quoc. Travellers typically connected via Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Bangkok, or Kuala Lumpur with airlines such as VietJet Air, Vietnam Airlines, Thai Airways, and Singapore Airlines.
From the connecting city, domestic flights to Phu Quoc International Airport (PQC) take about 1–2 hours.
New Direct Flights (Seasonal)
In December 2025, Phu Quoc welcomed new direct flights from New Delhi, operated by Air India in partnership with Vietravel and MakeMyTrip. These seasonal flights operate through early January 2026, significantly improving connectivity for Indian travellers.
Tip: If direct flights are unavailable, the best connections are via Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) or Bangkok.
🛂 Visa Rules for Indians
Indian passport holders can visit Phu Quoc visa-free for up to 30 days if:
- You arrive and depart directly from Phu Quoc from outside Vietnam
- Your trip does not include the Vietnamese mainland
What This Means
- ✔ No Vietnam visa required
- ✔ No extra paperwork at immigration
- ✔ Passport validity of at least 6 months + onward/return ticket
If your itinerary includes Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, or other mainland destinations, you must apply for a Vietnam e-Visa.
Pro Tip: Some travellers still apply for an e-Visa for added flexibility.
