Good news for citizens of Portugal! On June 24, 2023, the Vietnamese National Assembly approved the Government’s proposal to extend the validity of e-visas to 90 days from the current 30 days for single entry or multiple entries. This means that from August 15, 2023, citizens of Portugal who are eligible for an e-visa can enter and exit an unlimited number of times within 90 days without having to go through procedures for obtaining a new visa each month.
Vietnam currently offers 30-day single-entry e-visas to citizens of 80 countries and territories, including Portugal. The extended period of validity of the e-visa will provide Portuguese citizens with a more convenient and cost-effective way to visit the country. This new regulation will not only encourage more international tourists to visit the country, but also pave the way for increased investments and business opportunities.
The e-visa system simplifies the visa application process, allowing travelers to apply for a visa online from the comfort of their own home. The process is easy and straightforward, taking only a few minutes to complete. Applicants will need to provide basic information and upload a clear passport-style photo. Once the application is approved, the e-visa will be sent to the email address provided.
E-visas are valid for a period of 90 days from the proposed entry date that the applicant provided and allow holders to stay in Vietnam for a maximum of 90 days. The e-visa is a multiple-entry visa, meaning that travelers will not need to apply for a new e-visa for subsequent visits within 90 days.
This new regulation marks a significant development in Vietnam’s visa policy, and is a sign of the country’s commitment to welcoming foreign visitors and investments. With the extended period of validity of the e-visa, Portuguese citizens can now enjoy a more convenient and cost-effective way to visit Vietnam. So, what are you waiting for? Apply for your e-visa today and start planning your trip to Vietnam!
