Indian citizens looking to travel to Vietnam will now be able to stay in the country for up to 90 days on an e-visa. The Vietnamese National Assembly has recently granted approval to extend the validity of e-visas for foreigners entering Vietnam from one month to three months, and this change is expected to take effect on August 15, 2023.
Vietnam Immigration Department, under the Ministry of Public Security, currently issues single-entry 30-day e-visas to foreigners through its electronic system to citizens from 80 countries and territories, including India. The extended validity of e-visas to 90 days for Indians provides them with an opportunity to explore the country for a longer period of time.
The new regulations will also benefit Indian citizens who are looking to do business in Vietnam. The extended validity of the e-visa will make it easier for Indian businessmen to conduct business in the country, without having to worry about visa extensions. It will also enable them to stay for extended periods of time to better understand the local market, and to develop relationships with their partners and clients in Vietnam.
The government of Vietnam is making efforts to promote tourism and attract more foreign visitors to the country. The extended validity of the e-visa is a part of this effort, and the government is hopeful that the new regulations will help boost tourism and attract more Indian visitors to Vietnam.
Indian citizens who wish to visit Vietnam are advised to apply for their e-visa at least one week before their intended date of travel. They should also make sure that their Indian passport has at least six months of validity remaining at the time of entry into Vietnam.
Indian citizens now have more time to explore the beautiful beaches, incredible mountains, and vibrant cities of Vietnam. With the extended validity of the e-visa, they can take their time and enjoy the sights and sounds of the country. So, get your e-visa now and get ready to experience all that Vietnam has to offer!
