What to I Do in Case of an Emergency in Vietnam?

There are three emergency numbers in Vietnam.

Police: 113 Medical assistance: 115 Firefighters: 114

If you are the victim of a crime, report it to your consulate. You should also get in touch with your embassy if your passport is stolen or goes missing. It’s a good idea to have your embassy’s contact information with you while you travel.

In the event that a U.S. citizen is a victim of a crime, they can dial (202) 501-4444 to reach the embassy.

Canadians can call 613-996-8885 to get in touch with the Emergency Watch and Response center in Ottawa.
