Five countries in Europe happy to enjoy Vietnam visa exemption

Vietnam Immigration Services officially announces that every passport holder of the United Kingdom (the UK), France, Germany, Spain and Italy will be able to be exempted from Vietnam visa for stays of maximum 15 days in Vietnam, according to the recently issued Resolution No 46/NQ-CP by Vietnamese Government.

The policy will take effect for one year from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016.

All citizens from five mentioned above countries traveling to Vietnam will enjoy visa exemptions with all types of passports and immigration reasons if they meet the conditions required by Vietnamese law.

Vietnam will grant visa for passport holders of five countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain and Italy

Up to now, Vietnam has unilaterally exempted 15-day visas for citizens of seven countries, including Russian, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, and Belarus. Also, Vietnam has bilaterally granted a 30-day visa exemption for citizen from 9 out of ten ASEAN countries. Thanks to the current visa exemption policy, Vietnam tourism sees the increasing number of tourists coming from Japan, the Republic of Korea and Russia in recent years. Therefore, the new policy of free visa for five countries in Europe is expected to boost the Vietnam tourism industry by attracting more and more tourists from other countries all over the world.

Please note that the visa exemption for five countries in Europe is applied for stay of maximum 15 days in Vietnam. In case one wants to stay more than 15 days in Vietnam, applying for a visa on arrival is highly recommended to save cost and time.
