Great news for all citizens of the Philippines who are planning to visit Vietnam! Vietnam’s National Assembly has recently approved extending the validity of tourist e-visas from the current 30 days to 90 days. This means that starting August 15, 2023, Filipino tourists will be able to apply for a 90-day e-visa to Vietnam, allowing them to explore the country at their leisure and convenience.
Vietnam’s e-visa scheme is already available to citizens of 80 countries and territories, including the Philippines. With this new development, Filipino tourists can now enjoy a longer stay in Vietnam without having to worry about renewing their visas. This is great news for those who want to experience Vietnam’s rich culture, beautiful landscapes, and delectable cuisine.
Apart from the extended validity, the new e-visa also allows multiple entries. This means that visitors can now travel to other ASEAN nations from Hanoi and HCMC, without having to apply for a new visa each time they return to Vietnam. This makes it easier for tourists to explore other destinations in the region and maximize their travel experience.
The process of applying for a Vietnam e-visa for citizens of the Philippines is simple and straightforward. All you need to do is visit the official website of the Vietnam Immigration Department and follow the instructions. You will need to provide personal information, including your full name, date of birth, nationality, passport number, and date of entry and exit. You will also be required to upload a recent passport-sized photo and a scanned copy of your passport.
Once your application is approved, you will receive an e-visa via email, which you can print and present upon arrival in Vietnam. It is important to note that the e-visa is only valid for single-entry or multiple entries within the validity period. If you plan to stay longer than 90 days, you will need to apply for a visa extension from the Vietnam Immigration Department.
In conclusion, this new development is great news for all citizens of the Philippines who are planning to visit Vietnam. The extended validity and multiple entries allow for a more convenient and flexible travel experience. So, mark your calendars and start planning your trip to Vietnam today! Don’t miss the chance to immerse yourself in the beauty and charm of this amazing country.
