On the same day, the Government decided to increase the temporary stay period from 15 to 45 days for citizens of 13 countries who are unilaterally exempted from visas by Vietnam.

Expanding the scope of issuance and extending the duration of electronic visas (e-visas) is expected by the Government and businesses to create great leverage to attract tourism, investment, business cooperation and scientific research.

Currently, the e-visa issued by the Immigration Department to foreigners through the electronic transaction system is valid once. Before the above resolution, Vietnam granted e-visas to citizens of 80 countries.
