Why New Zealanders choose Phu Quoc
50-70% lower cost
The same genuine implant systems and lab-made crowns cost a fraction of New Zealand prices – the saving on a full plan usually more than covers your flights and hotel.
Visa-free for 30 days
New Zealand passport holders can fly directly to Phu Quoc Island and stay visa-free for up to 30 days, which comfortably covers most single-trip treatment plans.
Recover on the beach
Phu Quoc pairs modern dentistry with warm-water beaches and resorts, so the days between appointments feel like a Pacific holiday rather than a clinic waiting room.

Fly from New Zealand via a hub
There is no direct flight. Fly from Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch and connect through Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur to Phu Quoc International Airport. Total travel time is usually 13-18 hours including the connection.
Enter visa-free, settle in

Common questions before booking dental treatment in Phu Quoc.
Do New Zealanders need a visa to visit Phu Quoc?
New Zealand passport holders can enter Phu Quoc Island visa-free for up to 30 days when arriving directly to the island and staying within Phu Quoc. If you plan to travel onward to mainland Vietnam, you should arrange an e-visa or other entry permit. Always confirm current rules with official sources before booking.
How much can New Zealanders save on dental work in Phu Quoc?
New Zealanders typically save 50-70% versus New Zealand prices. A single dental implant in Phu Quoc is roughly US$900-$1,300 compared with NZ$5,000-NZ$7,000 in New Zealand, and the saving usually more than covers flights and accommodation for larger treatment plans.
How do I get from New Zealand to Phu Quoc?
There is no direct flight from New Zealand to Phu Quoc. Most New Zealanders fly from Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch via a hub such as Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur, then take a short connecting flight to Phu Quoc International Airport.

Are the dental clinics in Phu Quoc safe for New Zealand patients?
SmileJet only works with vetted Phu Quoc clinics that use genuine, traceable implant brands such as Straumann, Nobel Biocare and Osstem, English-speaking dentists, and modern sterilisation. You receive a written, itemised quote before you fly so there are no surprises on arrival.
