Facilitating the entry of foreigners into...

(VOVWORLD) – On the morning of the 27th, at the 5th session of the 15th National Assembly held in Hanoi, Minister of Public Security To Lam presented reports on the draft amendments to the Law on Entry and Exit of Vietnamese Citizens and the Law on Entry, Exit, Transit, and Residence of Foreigners in Vietnam.

The draft amendment to the Law on Entry, Exit, Transit, and Residence of Foreigners aims to provide more favorable conditions for foreigners entering, exiting, transiting, and residing in Vietnam.

Specifically, the government proposed extending the duration of electronic visas from the current 30 days to a maximum of 90 days and issuing electronic visas to citizens from countries worldwide.

In addition, the electronic visa system will allow not only single-entry visas but also multiple-entry visas. The duration of visa exemptions will also be extended from the current 15 days to 30 days. Nguyen Hai Dzung, a National Assembly deputy from Nam Dinh province, said:

“Allowing foreign tourists to stay longer in Vietnam brings us better revenue. To provide favorable conditions for this, the draft law includes issuing electronic visas to citizens of countries worldwide and granting multiple-entry visas. This encourages more foreign tourists and investors to enter Vietnam.”
