Extending e-visas to three months for travellers to Vietnam

  Mar 18, 2023

  By Vietnam Escape Tours

After some years without international tourists, Vietnam has welcome tourists coming back to Vietnam for their Vietnam Tours. To attract more and more international tourists, Vietnam government has issued some policies so travelers visit Vietnam easily.

Good News From Ministry of Public Security

Recently, to assist in the recovery of the tourism industry, the Ministry of Public Security has suggested increasing the time limit for e-visas issued to foreigners entering Vietnam from 30 days to a maximum of three months. That is good news for tourism industry and for travelers who have plan to visit Vietnam.

According to a draft adjustment to The Law on Entry, Departure, Transit, and Residence of Foreigners in Vietnam, for which the ministry is preparing  to gather options in public, the e-visa will be valid for single-entry or multiple entries.

Visa to Vietnam at the moment

Visitors from 80 countries and territories, including the United States, Canada, India, Denmark, Iceland,  and Australia, are currently eligible for a one-month single-entry e-visa from Vietnam.

In the proposal, the ministry also recommended making the 15-day visa exemption period 30 days for visitors from those nations.

Currently, travelers from various European nations, Japan, and South Korea—three of Vietnam's main tourist markets—are only allowed to stay for a maximum of 15 days without obtaining for a tourist visa.

According to the government, the number of international visitors has remained low since Vietnam reopened its borders in March of last year, leading insiders in the tourism sector to call for visa relaxations to save the sector.

In order to hasten the recovery of tourism, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh announced on 15 March that Vietnam would waive for more nations and lengthen the stay of international visitors. That will attract more and tourists visiting Vietnam especially for the western countries who often visit Vietnam for a long trip.

Vietnam received only 3.6 million foreign visitors despite being one of the first countries in Southeast Asia to fully reopen to foreign tourism under Covid. In 2023, Vietnam aims to receive 8 million foreign visitors.
