Tools
Sixteen small tools that answer specific Vietnam-planning questions. None of them talk to an external API. Everything runs in your browser using a static dataset that we maintain by hand. Nothing you type is stored.
For visa, tax, legal or medical decisions, the tools point you at the route to research — they are not a substitute for the official source or a professional.

How the tools handle your data. Everything you type stays on your device. We don't have a server-side store of inputs, and we never had one. The Emergency Card and Packing Checklist let you print or save to PDF directly from your browser — no upload involved.
