About 200 V at 50 Hz. power-plugs-sockets.com lists types A, C and D and dual 110/220 V in some sockets. Carry a multi-type travel adapter. 6 7
City
Hai Phong (Hai Phong), a centrally governed municipality at the mouth of the Cam River, Red River Delta. Since 12 June 2025 it includes former Hai Duong province, plus Cat Ba and Bach Long Vi. 1
Population
About 4.66 million in 2025 for the enlarged municipality (Wikipedia infobox 4,664,124), of which about 2.35 million are urban. Pre-merger figures near 2.1 million are the old city only. 1
Internet Speed
Ookla Vietnam median fixed download was 361 Mbps in August 2026 (country figure; a Hai Phong-only table did not load). Numbeo puts unlimited Hai Phong broadband of 60 Mbps or faster at about ₫230,000 a month (October 2026). 4 3

Vietnamese dong (VND). Vietcombank USD selling rate ₫26,100 per US dollar on 19 October 2026. Cash is still normal outside card and QR venues; declare cash over ₫15 million or USD 5,000. 14 13 6
Tap Water
Not for drinking; use bottled or filtered water. A 50 oz bottle is about ₫13,900 (Numbeo, October 2026). 5 3
SIM Card
Buy a prepaid SIM in town rather than at Cat Bi, where airport counters cost more. Viettel sells tourist eSIMs; MobiFone also sells a tourist eSIM. A Hai Phong plan with calls and 10GB+ data is about ₫136,000 a month (Numbeo, October 2026). 6 3
Banking for Expats
Local and international banks, with ATMs widely available. You generally cannot send money abroad from a Vietnamese account unless the recipient is family; Wise, MoneyGram and Western Union are the usual outward routes. Foreigners cannot buy land; leased land-use rights run up to 50-70 years. 5
Accommodation
Numbeo (October 2026) puts a one-bedroom at about ₫6.3 million a month both in the centre and outside it. A Vinhomes Marina one-bedroom listing asks ₫8 million a month. 3 26
Cashless Friendly
Mixed. Grab takes cash or in-app payment, and malls take cards. Street stalls and the Lach Tray beer stands are still cash; a glass of Hai Phong draft is about ₫4,000-10,000. 22 6 2
Short Term Rentals
Monthly furnished flats track the Numbeo one-bedroom of about ₫6.3 million (October 2026). A Vinhomes Marina one-bedroom listing asks ₫8 million a month. Wikivoyage still names Somerset Central TD on Le Hong Phong; that listing was last updated in 2017. 3 26 2
