Are you a citizen of Russia planning to visit Vietnam in the near future? If so, then you are in luck! The Vietnamese National Assembly has recently approved the government’s proposal to amend and supplement several articles of the Law of Foreigners’ Entry into, Exit from, Transit through, and Residence in Vietnam. Under the amendments, Vietnam will extend the validity of e-visas granted to foreigners entering the country to 90 days for both single entry and multiple entries.
This means that Russian visitors will now be able to enjoy a longer stay in Vietnam compared to the current 30-day limit. This amendment will take effect on August 15, 2023, making it easier and more convenient for foreign visitors to visit and do business in Vietnam.
Vietnam currently offers e-visas to citizens of 80 countries and territories, and Russia is one of them. This new amendment will be beneficial to Russian travelers who plan to stay in Vietnam for a relatively long period of time. Moreover, travelers from Russia who come from countries that are eligible for Vietnam’s unilateral visa waiver program will be able to enjoy a stay of 45 days visa-free from August 15, 2023.
It is worth noting that visitors who are granted e-visas must still comply with the immigration policies and regulations of Vietnam. This includes having valid documents for entry and exit, as well as a valid passport. Visitors must also make sure that their passports are valid for at least six months from the date of entry.
With the new amendment, Vietnam will become even more accessible to foreign visitors, including those from Russia. This will be great news for those who want to explore Vietnam’s stunning landscapes, experience its unique culture, and do business in the country.
So if you are a citizen of Russia planning to visit Vietnam, make sure to take advantage of the new 90-day e-visa validity that will be implemented on August 15, 2023! It will be your ticket to a longer and more memorable stay in this beautiful country.
