Vietnam National Assembly agrees to extend e-visa validity to 90 days

E-visa extension expected to boost tourism

With Vietnam e-visas currently available to citizens of 80 countries and visa waivers for nationals of 25 countries, the extended validity allows for multiple entries within the 90-day period, eliminating the need for repeated visa applications. 

Additionally, citizens from countries unilaterally exempted from visas such as French, Germany, Canada, Russia.. will enjoy an extended temporary residence of 45 days, up from 15 days. 
 

These remarkable changes aim to meet the growing demand of international tourists who are increasingly choosing to stay longer in Vietnam. The country's captivating landscapes and diverse culture have enticed visitors to extend their trips beyond the initial two-week plan, while the vast distances between popular destinations necessitate more exploration time. This decision allows tourists to embark on extended journeys and easily combine their Vietnam experience with other fascinating destinations in Southeast Asia.

It will enhance travel convenience and further establish Vietnam as an enticing destination for global visitors, expected to boost tourism and promote cultural exchange even faster.
