Emergency Phone Numbers You Need in Vietnam
Save these three nationwide numbers now: 113 for police, 114 for fire, and 115 for ambulance. They work free from any phone, including without a local SIM.
Vietnam’s emergency numbers work nationwide and can typically be dialed even on a phone with no SIM card or credit, though this depends on your carrier. English support on these lines can be limited outside major cities, so it helps to know a few key Vietnamese words or have a Vietnamese-speaking contact on standby.
Nationwide emergency numbers
- 113 — Police
- 114 — Fire department
- 115 — Ambulance / medical emergency

Other useful contacts
Your embassy or consulate in Vietnam should also be saved before you travel — they can assist with lost passports, arrests, or serious medical situations. Tourist-area police stations in Hanoi’s Old Quarter and District 1 in Ho Chi Minh City often have officers with basic English.
