News on Visa exemption

In the last five months of 2017, the number of visitors to Vietnam reached 5.3 million, a year-on-year increase of 30.8% and this is one of the reasons for Vietnamese government to extend the Visa exemption for passport holders of United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy and Spain from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018. However, the length of Vietnam visa exemption is still unchanged - Not more than 15 days.

If visitors from these European countries want to stay longer than 15 days in Vietnam, it is a must to apply Vietnam visa before entering Vietnam or extend visa in Vietnam after 15 day stay, but getting Vietnam visa before coming is a better option as tourists do not have to spend time waiting for the visa extension to be approved.

There are few ways to apply Vietnam visa:

1. E-Visa: It can be done by yourselves through Vietnam immigration's website at https://evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn/en_US/trang-chu-ttdt
