Vietnam provides e-visa options to all nations and extends visa-free stays

Commencing August 15, Vietnam will be offering e-visas to individuals from all nations and territories entering the country, as stated in a government resolution on Monday

Previously, Vietnam had exclusively provided 30-day single-entry e-visas to residents of 80 countries.

The recently introduced e-visa, facilitated by the Vietnam Immigration Department through the electronic transaction system, will now permit multiple entries within a 90-day validity period.

Thirteen airports that allow foreigners to enter and exit Vietnam by e-visa, include Noi Bai, Tan Son Nhat, Cam Ranh, Da Nang, Cat Bi, Can Tho, Phu Quoc, Phu Bai, Van Don, Tho Xuan, Dong Hoi, Phu Cat and Lien Khuong.

The 16 land border gates that allow e-visas are Tay Trang (Dien Bien Province), Mong Cai (Quang Ninh), Huu Nghi (Lang Son), Lao Cai, Na Meo (Thanh Hoa), Nam Can (Nghe An), Cau Treo (Ha Tinh), Cha Lo (Quang Binh), La Lay and Lao Bao (Quang Tri), Bo Y (Kon Tum), Moc Bai and Xa Mat (Tay Ninh), Tinh Bien and Vinh Xuong (An Giang) and Ha Tien (Kien Giang).

Thirteen sea border gates also allow e-visas: Hon Gai and Cam Pha (Quang Ninh), Hai Phong, Nghi Son (Thanh Hoa), Vung Ang (Ha Tinh), Chan May (Thua Thien Hue), Da Nang, Nha Trang (Khanh Hoa), Quy Nhon (Binh Dinh), Dung Quat (Quang Ngai), Vung Tau (Ba Ria Vung Tau), HCMC and Duong Dong (Kien Giang).

Countries that enjoy Vietnam’s visa exemption

Starting March 15, Vietnam reinstated its pre-Covid immigration regulations, offering visa exemption to citizens of 25 specific countries

These countries are Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the U.K., Northern Ireland, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Belarus. Citizens of these countries are allowed to stay for 45 days from the time of entry, regardless of passport type and entry purpose.

The visa leniency, sanctioned by the National Assembly in June, seeks to promote tourism, investment, business collaborations, and scientific research
