Traveloffpath hails Vietnam’s entry regulations for travellers
VOV.VN - Travel website Traveloffpath of the United States has positively assessed Vietnam’s latest entry regulations aimed at attracting more international visitors, in an article published on March 17.
Vietnam is considered to be one of the countries in Southeast Asia laying down the easiest entry conditions for tourists.
“With Vietnam once again allowing tourists to enter the country for tourism purposes – and without the requirement to book themselves onto a government-approved group tour, as was the case before – some visitors will be able to enter the country without a visa,” the website wrote.
“This is because Vietnam is restarting their visa exemption scheme for nationals from the 13 countries. Visitors that hold passports for the above countries will be able to arrive into Vietnam – without having obtained a tourist visa before their arrival – and be allowed to stay for up to 15 days,” it added.
As well as allowing guests to enter the country without having to obtain a tourist visa before arrival, Vietnam has also reopened its E-visa website which allows citizens from 80 countries, including the US, Canada, and the UK, to apply for a tourist E-visa, the article noted.
Meanwhile, it also pointed out that other countries throughout the region are applying different entry regulations for travelers who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and for those who have not.
In the Philippines for instance, those who are not fully vaccinated are required to quarantine at a government facility upon arrival, whilst they must take a COVID-19 PCR test on the fifth day after arrival.
Thailand will also allow visitors who have not been vaccinated against the SARS-CoV-2 virus to enter the country, but they must be isolated in line with the country’s regulations.
