By expanding its visa exemption policy, Vietnam is making it easier for international travelers to visit. As of March 15, 2025, citizens from 12 countries can enjoy visa-free entry for up to 45 days until March 14, 2028. The 12 countries included in this exemption are:
- Germany
- France

Additionally, tourists from Poland, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland will also benefit from a visa waiver between March 1 and December 31, 2025.
These changes are part of Vietnam’s ongoing efforts to boost tourism and attract more foreign visitors. This presents a fantastic opportunity for travel agencies and tour operators to promote Vietnam as a hassle-free, must-visit destination.
Expanded Entry Options with E-Visas
To further facilitate smooth entry, Vietnam has also expanded its e-visa accessibility. Visitors holding e-visas can enter the country through:
