Good news for Swiss citizens! The Vietnamese National Assembly has approved an amendment that extends the validity of e-visas for Swiss citizens entering Vietnam from 30 days to 90 days. Starting from August 15, 2023, Swiss citizens will be eligible to receive a 90-day single or multiple-entry e-visa when they visit Vietnam.
The Vietnamese Immigration Department, under the Ministry of Public Security, currently issues 30-day e-visas to citizens from 80 selected countries and territories, including Switzerland. The new amendment makes it much easier for Swiss citizens to travel to Vietnam as they can now stay in the country for up to three months with just one visa. This will also make it easier for Swiss citizens to do business in Vietnam as they can now stay in the country for a longer period of time.
The new amendment is expected to boost the country’s tourism industry, as it will make it easier for international travelers to visit Vietnam. The country’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has predicted that the number of international visitors to Vietnam will reach 22 million by the end of 2023.
The Vietnamese government is also making it easier for foreign travelers to enter the country by offering them online visa applications. Swiss citizens can now apply for an e-visa online and receive it within three working days. They can also apply for a visa on arrival, which requires them to submit an application at the airport upon arrival in Vietnam.
The Vietnamese government is also working on strengthening the country’s border security and introducing new technology at airports to ensure the safety of travelers. The government has also implemented stricter entry requirements for foreign visitors to ensure that they are healthy and do not pose a risk to the public.
We hope this update brings joy and excitement to all Swiss citizens and encourages them to explore the beauty of Vietnam. With the extended e-visa validity, Swiss citizens can now stay in Vietnam for up to three months and experience all the amazing attractions the country has to offer. So, what are you waiting for?
