How to Register to Buy a New Viettel eSIM Online (2025 Guide)

 

As of late 2025, tourists still cannot reliably buy or register a Viettel eSIM online. The only guaranteed method is to purchase a Viettel Tourist eSIM in person at an official Viettel kiosk located in the arrivals hall of major airports such as Hanoi (HAN), Ho Chi Minh City (SGN), Da Nang (DAD), Nha Trang (CXR), or Phu Quoc (PQC).

To register, you must present your original passport, use an unlocked eSIM-compatible phone, and pay with cash or card. Viettel airport kiosks offer exclusive Tourist eSIM packages (such as DL60, TR80, DL120, SD135T, T160) that are not available at city stores.

After selecting a plan, tourists must complete Viettel’s official 6-step self-registration process, which includes scanning a QR code, uploading passport and selfie photos, confirming personal information under Vietnamese data protection regulations (Decree 13), signing electronically, and then installing the eSIM. The entire process usually takes under 10 minutes, with staff available to help.

Because Vietnamese law (Decree 49/2017) requires all SIM cards to be registered with a valid ID, the physical passport is mandatory, and photocopies or digital photos are rejected.

In short: buy your eSIM at the airport, follow the simple verification steps, and you’ll be connected quickly and legally.

How Many Times Can Viettel eSIM QR Code Be Used: Policy for 2025

Image
  In 2025, Viettel has reinforced a strict one-time-use policy for tourist eSIM QR codes to ensure secure and hassle-free connectivity for international travelers. Each QR code acts as a unique activation key that can be scanned only once, linking the eSIM profile permanently to the device used during the first installation. After activation, the QR code becomes invalid and cannot be reused under any circumstances — not even on the same device after a factory reset, software update, data wipe, or accidental deletion of the eSIM profile. If travelers switch to a new phone, lose the physical QR code, or mistakenly remove the installed eSIM, Viettel requires them to obtain a completely new eSIM. Replacement options are readily available at Viettel service counters located in major international airports across Vietnam, as well as at official Viettel stores nationwide. While the original tourist eSIM cannot be reissued or re-downloaded, staff at Viettel stores can instead provide a do...

5G Viettel on Android phones: Supported devices, setup, and fixes

  Viettel 5G on Android phones offers significantly faster speeds, lower latency, and a more stable network experience across Vietnam. However, performance depends on device compatibility, correct settings, and proper troubleshooting. Most flagship Android phones such as Samsung Galaxy S and Z series, Google Pixel, Xiaomi 13/14, OPPO Find X, and OnePlus 11/12 support Viettel 5G. Many mid-range devices like the Samsung Galaxy A series, Xiaomi Redmi Note, OPPO Reno, and Vivo V/Y models also work, provided they support the necessary 5G frequency bands and have updated software. To enable 5G, users must access Settings → Mobile Network → Network Mode and select 5G/LTE/3G/2G (Auto Connect). Even with a compatible phone, users might encounter issues such as the 5G option not appearing, no 5G signal, unstable speeds, or increased battery drain. These issues can be resolved through steps like updating firmware, upgrading the SIM card to a 5G-ready version, resetting network settings, movin...
