Is using EastESIM simpler than purchasing a local SIM card at airports in Vietnam or Thailand? Will I need to show my passport?

Updated April 22, 2026

Absolutely, EastESIM offers a significantly smoother experience. When you land in places like Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) or Bangkok (BKK), buying a physical SIM often means long queues at kiosks, filling out paperwork, and a mandatory passport registration, which can be time-consuming after a long flight. With EastESIM, you skip all that. It’s a completely digital process – you just scan a QR code, and you’re connected to local networks like Viettel or AIS, ready to explore without delay or hassle.
