eSIM for travelling in Asia
With an Asia eSIM, you can stay connected during your trip without replacing your physical SIM card or relying on traditional roaming. Choose an eSIM for one country or a regional plan when visiting several destinations, receive it by email and install it before departure.
Use mobile data for maps, bookings, transport, messaging and travel apps from the moment you arrive. Before purchasing, make sure your phone supports eSIM and is unlocked for use with other networks.
Popular destinations in Asia
One country or several destinations?
If your entire trip takes place in one country, a national eSIM is usually the simplest option. For a multi-country itinerary, view the 10-country Asia eSIM plan and check that it covers every destination on your route before purchasing.

- Select your destination and the right data plan for your trip.
- Receive the installation link, QR code and instructions by email.
- Install the eSIM using a stable Wi-Fi connection before travelling.
- On arrival, select the eSIM for mobile data and enable data roaming when instructed.
