Good news for Americans who are planning to visit Vietnam! The National Assembly of Vietnam recently approved a law amending and supplementing several articles in the Law on Foreigners’ Entry into, Exit from, and Residence in Vietnam. This new law will grant a 90-day e-visa validity for Americans instead of the current 30 days, with effect from August 15, 2023.
Vietnam currently offers e-visas to citizens of 80 countries and territories, including the United States. An e-visa is a form of electronic travel authorization, which is a more convenient option than the traditional visa-stamping process. With the new 90-day e-visa, Americans can enter and exit Vietnam multiple times during the visa’s validity. This will significantly benefit those who wish to survey markets, seek and promote investment, and compare the business and investment potential of different countries in the region.
The new law will bring immense benefits to both tourists and businesses. It will encourage increasing numbers of visitors to Vietnam, as it provides more flexibility and convenience. Tourists can plan their trips in advance and enjoy exploring different places in the country without worrying about visa renewals. Businesses will benefit from this new law by having more time to evaluate and compare investment opportunities in Vietnam.
To apply for a 90-day e-visa, Americans will need to provide the following documents: a valid passport, a passport-sized photograph, and a scanned copy of the passport to complete the e-visa application online. Once the application is approved, the visa will be sent via email and must be printed out and presented upon arrival in Vietnam.
E-visas are a great way to experience the culture and beauty of Vietnam. With the new 90-day e-visa, Americans now have more time to explore the country and take advantage of its many attractions. So start planning your trip to Vietnam now and get ready to enjoy the 90-day e-visa from August 15, 2023!
