International guests arriving in Vietnam for a 15-day stay from Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Belarus benefit from the program.
The visa waiver policy will be applied in three years, starting from March 15, and will be extended in line with Vietnam’s regulations.
Before Covid broke out in Vietnam, the country applied the unilateral visa waiver program for 13 countries and the bilateral visa-free program for 88 countries and territories.
However, the country suspended these programs to prevent the spread of the pandemic in early 2020.
