Vietnam extends tourist visa validity
In a boost for Vietnam tourism, the National Assembly approved a plan to extend tourist e-visa validity from 30 to 90 days.
It also allows visitors multiple entry.
The extension will take effect on August 15.
“A three-month e-visa will meet foreign visitors’ demand to stay longer to explore investment opportunities,” said Le Tan Toi, head of the NA Committee for Defense and Security.
Vietnam offers e-visas to nationals of 80 countries.
The legislative body also increased validity for visa-free stays from 15 or 30 days to 45 days.
Visa-free is available for tourists from 25 countries.
These include various European countries, Japan and South Korea.
In the first five months of this year, Vietnam tourism arrivals reached 4.6 million foreign visitors.
