Vietnam ground operator for Central and Eastern European tour operators

Vietnam DMC for Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian and Central European tour operators.

Dong DMC runs the Vietnam land arrangements behind tour operators and agencies from Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and the Baltics: routing, hotels, guides, transport and on-the-ground delivery, costed at net rates and delivered under your brand.

B2B only. White-label delivery. Net rates with itemised inclusions. Eight Central European passports now enter Vietnam visa-free for 45 days, and LOT opens Warsaw–Hanoi nonstop in March 2027. Vietnam is five to six hours ahead of Central Europe, so a morning brief is answered the same working day.

What changed for Central Europe in 2025–2027

Visa-free entry for eight of your markets, and a nonstop from Warsaw.

From 15 August 2025 to 14 August 2028, citizens of Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia and Slovenia enter Vietnam without a visa for stays up to 45 days, under Resolution 229/NQ-CP. From 31 March 2027, LOT Polish Airlines flies Warsaw to Hanoi nonstop three times a week on a Boeing 787, a little over ten hours. Until then, one-stop connections through Istanbul, Doha, Dubai, Frankfurt and Munich remain the working routes.

Two barriers that kept Vietnam off Central European brochures, visa paperwork and long connections, are going away in the same window. Operators who have a Vietnam programme ready for the 2027 season will sell into it first.

Why it was missing, and why now
  • Visa paperwork — gone for eight markets until August 2028.
  • Long connections — one-stop via Istanbul, Doha, Dubai, Frankfurt or Munich today; LOT nonstop from Warsaw in March 2027.
  • Price point — net rates with itemised inclusions, built to a Central European brochure, not a Western European rate card.
  • Your brand stays in front — we never contact your client and never sell to consumers.
Request series net rates →
For operators building a first Vietnam programme: we can start from a proven 12 to 14 night shape and adjust it to your market's pacing, price point and guide language. One contract for the season, one rate sheet, one escalation contact.

Vietnam entry, connections and handling for each Central and Eastern European market.

One row per country. Visa rules as published by the Vietnamese government for ordinary passports, valid at the date on this page. Connections are the routes we see used most; airlines and frequencies change, so we confirm at quotation.

Share what you have

Season or dates, group size, hotel level, guide language, price point per person you need to hit, beach finish or not.

2

We shape the plan

Routing, domestic sectors, Halong timing and service assumptions reviewed. The result reads like a catalogue itinerary at your price point, not a supplier list.

3

Confirm and align

Hotels, transport, meals, guides and special requirements locked to what your product team approved. Net rates confirmed with validity, FOC and payment terms stated.

4

We deliver, you lead

Your tour leader or our guide leads under your brand. Our ops team runs behind with a 24/7 hotline for the duration.

Common questions

What Central and Eastern European partners ask before confirming.

Does Dong DMC work with tour operators from Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania?

Yes. The Central and Eastern Europe desk works with tour operators, travel agencies, group organisers and incentive houses across Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and the Baltic states. We work with your team, never with your clients.

Which Central European citizens can enter Vietnam without a visa?

From 15 August 2025 to 14 August 2028, citizens of Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia and Slovenia enter visa-free for stays up to 45 days under Resolution 229/NQ-CP. Austrian, Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian citizens apply for an e-visa online with 90-day validity.

Is there a nonstop flight from Central Europe to Vietnam?

From 31 March 2027, LOT Polish Airlines flies Warsaw to Hanoi nonstop three times a week on a Boeing 787, about ten and a half hours. Until then the working routes are one stop via Istanbul, Doha, Dubai, Frankfurt or Munich. Vietnam Airlines flies nonstop from Frankfurt and Munich.

Can you provide guides in our language?

English-speaking guides are standard and German-speaking guides are available for Austrian, Czech, Slovenian and mixed groups. Polish, Czech, Hungarian and Romanian-speaking guides are arranged on request and depend on notice and season; tell us at the brief stage. Many operators send their own tour leader and use our English-speaking guide alongside.

Can you price to our market's catalogue point?

Yes. Net rates with itemised inclusions let you build the programme to a price point: 4-star or 5-star hotel set, meal plan, private or coach transport, domestic flight or overnight train. We quote two hotel sets when the brief allows, so your product team can choose.

How do you handle the time difference?

Vietnam is six hours ahead of Central Europe in winter and five in summer. A brief sent before 12:00 your time lands inside our working day, and priority requests receive a first response within 60 minutes during business hours.

Do you work on net or commission rates?

B2B net rates only. You control your selling price and margin. Dong DMC issues a net invoice with itemised inclusions, deposit on confirmation and balance before arrival. No commission-based pricing.

Will your team ever contact my client directly?

No. White-label is how we operate. Your agency stays client-facing. Dong DMC handles the logistics without client-facing visibility, and your brand appears on vouchers, welcome boards and guide introductions.

Can you run Vietnam and Cambodia under one contract?

Yes. Siem Reap and Angkor extensions are handled by the same team: visa handling, the air or Mekong crossing, guide handover and a single escalation contact across both countries.
