Vietnam is all set to extend the validity of e-visa after its government gave its nod to extend visa reform measures. This move will provide a major relief to international tourists visiting Vietnam, which has further gained pace as a popular tourist destination in recent years.
Vietnam’s lawmakers on June 24 in the National Assembly passed an approval to increase the validity of electronic visas for inbound visitors on the recommendation of the government. So, effective August 1, the validity of the approved e-visa will be 90 days from the current duration of 30 days.
The proposal includes the mandate to allow multiple entries to tourists, instead of single entry visas to boost tourism in the country. This move will likely be significantly helpful for Indian tourists, who visit this destination in large numbers.
Vietnam currently offers e-visas to citizens of 80 countries and territories, and citizens of 25 countries can visit this destination without having to apply for a visa, with visitors allowed to stay between 14 and 30 days on average.
