The Cabinet has approved granting electronic visas of up to three months for long-stay tourists as the government prepares to relax travel regulations to help support a key driver of the economic growth, local newspaper Vietnam News reported.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said there was a general consensus among Cabinet members on issuing electronic visas, valid for single-entry or multiple entries, to “citizens from all countries and territories” who would be able to stay in Vietnam for a maximum of three months from the current 30 days.The government also approved extending the visa-free length of stay to 45 days from 15 days for citizens from countries that it has unilaterally waived visa requirements.
