VOV.VN - The Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism has officially launched the 2025 Tourism Stimulus Programme themed Vietnam – Travel to Love, aiming to attract international tourists, particularly from Poland, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland, which will benefit from visa exemptions from March 1 to December 31 this year.

VOV.VN - The government of Vietnam will introduce a visa exemption policy for travelers from Poland, Switzerland and the Czech Republic this year, presenting a valuable opportunity for major local destinations to welcome tourists from high-end markets.

VOV.VN - The visa exemption agreement for ordinary passport holders between Vietnam and Belarus, effective from January 30, 2025, marks a significant step forward in the cooperation between the two countries.

The Government on January 15 issued a resolution on visa exemptions for citizens of Poland, the Czech Republic and Switzerland as part of a tourism stimulus programme in 2025.

The tourism sector is striving to maintain the growth momentum recorded in the first quarter so as to fulfil the target of serving 18 million foreign visitors this year, given a full recovery in most of Vietnam’s markets.

VOV.VN - Vietnam currently applies unilateral visa exemption for 13 countries, which are key tourist areas, Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son said at the Q&A session of the 31st National Assembly (NA) Standing Committee held on March 18 in Hanoi.

VOV.VN - The number of foreign visitors to Vietnam reached more than three million in the first two months of the year, up by 68.7% compared to the same period from last year, as announced on February 29 by the General Statistics Office (GSO).

Group tourists from three Southeast Asian countries, including Vietnam, can travel without a visa to the Republic of Korea (RoK)’s Jeonllanam-do province (Jeonnam) through Muan international airport until March 2025, according to a statement released by the provincial administration on February 27.

The expansion of the visa exemption policy to cover more countries is good for Vietnam tourism, said Head of the Secretariat of the Tourism Advisory Board (TAB) Hoang Nhan Chinh.

VOV.VN - Vietnam will pilot long-term, multiple-entry visas lasting from 12 to 36 months to attract visitors from high-end markets such as Europe, Northeast Asia, North America, India and the Middle East.
