Covid/Travel insurance needed?

[JDangle]

The gov website doesn't mention it, so - is it required to have insurance to enter Vietnam?

 

If so, how much and any recommendations?

 

Thanks

There seems to be conflicting information but I did find this link:

Just a cut/paste of so info from the link above.

Vietnam Entry Requirements

In order to enter Vietnam now, the foreigners must have the following items:

• A valid entry paper (Vietnam visa / temporary residence card / permanent residence card / 5-year visa exemption certificate / entry permit) unless you are exempted from Vietnam visa.
• Passport valid for at least 06 months from the date of arrival.

Note: The Covid insurance, Covid-19 vaccination certificate, and Covid test certificate are no longer required.

Follow up: I wasn't asked for insurance when entering HCMC. Also, they didn't collect the stamping $25 stamping fee for my eVisa, but the place was packed so the guy might have just been rushed...
