“We welcome this step from the Republic of Korea and believe it will facilitate the two countries’ people-to-people exchanges, and promote tourism and cooperation in trade and investment, thus contributing to strengthening the Vietnam-RoK strategic partnership,” she said.
From December 3, Vietnamese residents living in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang are eligible for a multiple-entry visa valid for up to five years to the RoK.
To apply for this Korean visa, residents have to pay US$80 and wait for no longer than one week, after which they will not need to apply for a Korean visa for the next five years.
Visa holders can visit the RoK at any point and stay for up to one month at a time. Once they have returned to Vietnam, they are able to revisit the RoK as they please.
