The Vietnam’s government has recently made a decision on extending visa exemptions by an additional year for citizens from Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, Germany and France for one more year till the 30th June, 2018. This decision aims at drawing attraction and inviting more European citizens to come to visit Vietnam, thereby facilitating business travel and foreign investment into Vietnam by boosting domestic tourism. On the 30th June, 2016, the Resolution No. 56/NQ-CP on visa waiver programs for citizens coming from a number of countries in Europe was issued by the Vietnamese government.

Regardless of their types of passport or the purpose of immigration, as long as the travelers stay in Vietnam no more than fifteen (15) days and meet the requirements of relevant Vietnam’s laws, the visa exemption will be applied. This Decree took effects on the 30th June, 2016.
Since the 1st July last year, the Vietnamese Government has applied the waiver for travelers from the five above-mentioned European countries for the period of one year. The Decree promises to attract international travelers, foreign investment, bring development opportunities to the tourism industry of Vietnam and promote the growth of FDI enterprises in Vietnam.
This favorable policy will be re-examined and extended in line with Vietnam’s law. Currently Vietnam unilaterally offers a 30-day visa waiver for travelers from the 10-member ASEAN bloc, except for Bruneians who receive a 14 day waiver and visa exemptions for travelers from Russia, South Korea, Japan, Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark. The Vietnamese government has recently issued a resolution on time-limit visa exemption for people from Belarus.
Over the past year, this visa exemption for the five Western European countries has made a greatly positive influence on the development of Vietnamese tourism. According to the speech of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, from July last year to May this year, eleven months since the enforcement of the visa-free policy, the total number of travelers from these five countries to Vietnam increased by more than 15 per cent compared to the prior period.
