Traveloffpath positively evaluates Vietnam's policy to attract international tourists

ABO/NDO - Travel website Traveloffpath.com on March 17 posted a positive review of the entry requirements that Vietnam applies under the new normal conditions, which can help attract more international tourists.

According to the article, Vietnam is considered to be applying the easiest entry requirements in Southeast Asia. The reason is that unlike other nations in Southeast Asia that have also reopened for tourists, Vietnam does not require visitors to present a COVID-19 vaccine certificate, or certificate showing proof of recovery, when entering the country.

In addition, there are no requirements to undergo any quarantine, whatsoever.
The article wrote: "Basically, that now means that whether you are fully vaccinated – or not – all visitors follow the same guidelines for entry".

All that visitors need to do now to enter Vietnam, includes taking a COVID-19 RT-PCR or RT-LAMP test no more than three days (72 hours) before your departure, or; taking a COVID-19 rapid antigen test no more than one day (24 hours) before your departure (this does not apply to visitors that are aged 2 and under); completing an online health declaration form before arrival; downloading the ‘PC-COVID’ app before arrival; purchasing health insurance – which covers COVID-19 medical expenses.

With regards to visa requirements, Vietnam has reopened its E-visa website – where citizens from 80 countries can apply for a 30-day (single entry) tourist visa.

The country has also resumed its visa exemption scheme for nationals from thirteen nations, including the UK, France, Germany and Italy.

Whereas, the article said that other nations in the region have different entry requirements, which apply to vaccinated and unvaccinated visitors.
