Good news for French citizens planning to visit Vietnam! The National Assembly of Vietnam has recently approved a proposal to extend the validity of e-visas granted to foreigners entering the country to 90 days from no more than 30 days for single entry or multiple entries. This proposed amendment, which will take effect on August 15, 2023, will benefit French citizens looking to visit and do business in Vietnam.
Vietnam is currently offering e-visas to citizens of 80 countries and territories, including France. From August 15, 2023, French citizens will be able to stay in Vietnam for up to 90 days with an e-visa. With the longer validity period, foreign visitors can now explore more of Vietnam, its beautiful landscape, culture, and history.
Furthermore, foreign visitors hailing from countries and regions eligible for Vietnam’s unilateral visa waiver program will also be able to enjoy a stay of 45 days visa-free, surpassing the current limit of 15 days. This means that French citizens can now enjoy a longer stay in Vietnam without having to apply for a visa.
These amendments to the Law of Foreigners’ Entry into, Exit from, Transit through, and Residence in Vietnam are expected to make it easier for foreign visitors to visit and do business in Vietnam. With the extended 90-day validity period, French citizens can now plan longer trips to Vietnam and have more time to explore the country. The 45 days visa-free policy for those eligible under the unilateral visa waiver program is also a great opportunity for French citizens to enjoy their trip to Vietnam without having to worry about visa requirements.
For those looking to plan a trip to Vietnam, the Vietnamese government has made it easier to apply for an e-visa. The application process is simple and straightforward and applicants can expect to receive their e-visa within three working days.
If you are a French citizen looking to visit Vietnam from August 15, 2023, then make sure to take advantage of the 90-day e-visa validity and the 45-day visa-free policy for those eligible under the unilateral visa waiver program. With these updates in place, you can now plan your dream trip to Vietnam and explore its many wonders.
