Countries exempt from Vietnam visa

Countries that are exempted from Vietnam visas belong to the following two groups: Unilateral visa exemption (Vietnam unilaterally waives visas for another country) and bilateral visa exemption (both countries waive visas for each other).

As follows:

1. Unilateral visa exemption

On June 24, 2023, the National Assembly of Vietnam passed amendments and supplements to a number of articles of the “Law on Entry, Exit, Transit, and Residence of Foreigners in Vietnam”. From August 15, 2023, Vietnam officially waives visas for 45 days for citizens of some countries to enter Vietnam under visa exemption regulations.

Citizens of the following countries: South Korea, Japan, Russia, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Great Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Belarus will now have the opportunity to stay longer in Vietnam without a visa.

– The period of entry and temporary residence is 45 days from the date of entry

– Conditions for entering Vietnam with unilateral visa exemption: Citizens of these countries holding ordinary passports, regardless of entry purpose, are exempted from entering and exiting Vietnam with a temporary stay period of no more than 45 days, if the following conditions are met:

– Have a valid passport issued by the competent authority of the country of which the person is a citizen and the passport is valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry;

– Have a round-trip or onward transportation ticket to another country;
