VND to KRW Converter (Vietnamese Dong to Korean Won)
1 VND = 0.0526795 KRW at the saved rate of 2026-11-10. Convert Vietnamese dong to Korean won for study, work or a trip between the two countries.
Both currencies are counted without decimals. The dong (VND, ₫) is issued by the State Bank of Vietnam in notes up to 500,000 dong, and the won (KRW, ₩) is issued by the Bank of Korea in notes up to 50,000 won. Each is a long whole number, so the converted figure is rounded to the nearest won.
Vietnamese students and workers moving to Korea convert dong savings into won to cover their first months of rent, tuition and living costs, and Vietnamese tourists do the same before visiting Seoul or Jeju. Koreans coming back from Da Nang, Nha Trang or Phu Quoc with leftover dong, and Korean firms converting dong revenue from operations in Vietnam, use this page too.
How to use this tool
- Type an amount in VND to see it in KRW, or type in the KRW box to convert the other way.
- Read the rate line under the boxes: it shows the saved rate and its date.
- Use the tables below for common amounts, or open the currency converter for any other currency.
Formula
KRW amount = VND amount × rate
VND amount = KRW amount ÷ rate
The rate is the value of 1 VND in KRW from the snapshot of 2026-11-10. Both currencies are priced in US dollars in the same table, so the rate is the KRW per USD figure divided by the VND per USD figure. A bank's buying and selling rates sit on either side of this mid-market figure.
Example
Two conversions at the saved rate:
500,000 VND × 0.0526795 = 26,340 KRW
100,000 KRW ÷ 0.0526795 = 1,898,271 VND

Changing dong into won
Fewer Korean bank branches handle dong cash than dollars or yen, and the buying rate for dong notes usually carries a wider spread, so check with a branch before you go. Spending dong in Vietnam before departure is often simpler than exchanging it later.
Vietnamese border gates require a declaration from departing travelers holding more than 15 million dong in cash or more than US$5,000 in foreign currency. Korea Customs Service, for its part, expects a declaration from arrivals whose combined cash and checks in all currencies are worth over US$10,000.
Quick mental estimate
Divide VND by 19 for a rough KRW figure: 20,000 VND → about 1,053 KRW. That shortcut is 0.09% above the saved rate.
Rates move every day, so recheck the rate line before you rely on a shortcut.
Frequently asked questions
Is Vietnamese money accepted in Korea?
No. Shops and services in Korea take won only, so change your dong at a bank or money changer that handles it, or spend it before you leave Vietnam.
How is the dong-to-won figure on this page calculated?
Both currencies are priced against the US dollar in the same saved table, and the dong-to-won rate is derived from those two figures. Banks quoting dong against won follow a similar cross calculation and then add their margin.
Which dong notes are easiest to exchange?
Exchange counters generally prefer clean, undamaged polymer notes in larger values such as 100,000, 200,000 and 500,000 dong. Worn notes and small cotton-paper notes may be refused or bought at a lower rate.
Is this the live exchange rate?
No. The page uses a snapshot of mid-market rates saved when the site was last updated, and the rate line shows its date. Your bank, card issuer or transfer service quotes its own rate, usually with a margin or fee, so the amount you actually receive will differ.
