🇻🇳 EXEMPTION OF ENTRY VISA TO VIETNAM (Visa-Free Entry Guide)
Vietnam offers visa exemption (visa-free entry) to citizens of several countries for short stays, depending on diplomatic agreements. This means you do not need to apply for a visa before entering Vietnam if you’re from one of the visa-exempt countries and stay within the allowed number of days.

- Re-entry restriction: In some cases, a minimum of 30 days must pass between visa-free visits (mainly for earlier exemption schemes, not applicable to new 2025 list).
- If you wish to stay longer than the exemption period, you must apply for a Vietnam visa extension or get a proper visa.
- Multiple entries are allowed if each visit falls within the visa-free duration.
✈️ Planning to Stay Longer?
If you plan to stay in Vietnam longer than your visa exemption allows (e.g., for business, study, or long-term tourism), we recommend applying for:
- Vietnam e-Visa (up to 90 days)
- Visa on Arrival (VOA)
- Business or Work Visa (DN, LD, etc.)
