Vietnam has enforced visa exemption policy for citizens from 5 Western-European countries
Vietnam government has enforced the 46th Resolution/NQ-CP to give out visa exemption policy for citizens from 5 countries: Kingdom of Great Britain, Republic of France, Federal Republic of Germany, Kingdom of Spain and Republic of Italy, when they come to Vietnam.
In detail, citizens from these 5 countries mentioned above will get visa exemption when entering Vietnam with the time limit of stay in Vietnam NOT exceeding over 15 days, since the day they get the entry permit to Vietnam. And it will be applied to any types of passports and under any types of traveling purposes, if the applicants are suitable to apply under currently issued Vietnamese law.
This policy will be enforced in the period of one year, from the date of July 1st, 2017 to over the date of June 30th, 2018, and it will be reconsidered later under the Vietnam law to be extended or so.
Vietnam government has reached the unanimous agreement with some resolutions in solving existing problems and help developing Vietnam tourism upon the submitted plan by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, in which mentions about the matters of expanding the list of countries that should have visa exemption from Vietnam, issuing e-visas, and simplifying the procedure of issuing visas in Vietnam.
At the 92th Resolution/NQ-CP’s meeting about some resolutions to speed up the action of developing Vietnam tourism in this new era, which was issued by the end of 2014, Vietnam Government also requested the Ministry of Public Security to take the lead, along with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and along with some involved offices, in the action of checking, researching, and then submit a plan of expanding the list of countries that should have visa exemption from Vietnam along with securing the national security.
Up until now, Vietnam has given out one-way visa exemption policy for 7 countries (Japan, Korea, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, and Russia), two-way visa exemption policy for 9 countries in ASEAN group. Lately, Vietnam government also enforced the visa exemption policy for the Republic of Belarus.
Since the first visa exemption policy (since 2014), the number of tourists from Japan to Vietnam has increased up to 2.43 times, from Korea is 3.6 times, and from Russia (since 2009) is 7.45 times…

Entry into Vietnam within 7 days of first visit
Aug 22, 2019Good day
Together with my husband we have applied, and been accepted for a tourist visa entry into Vietnam on 29th August for 7 days, application 4637577481. Ive also paid the Vietnam Fee but reading later as a UK citizen I should be 15 day exempt and not charged. I wasnt alerted to this in my application, the fee was taken?
In another article I read that if I re enter Vietnam (which we will do after a 5 day stay in Laos), then if I’m correct I must then apply for a tourist Visa as the 15 day exemption doesn’t apply on a revisit within 30 days is this correct?

Combine E-Visa and visa-free entry
Oct 20, 2017Hi,
I am planning to visit Vietnam and Laos January next year. Is it possible for a German passport holder to use Vietnam's new E-Visa ( https://evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn/trang-chu-ttdt ) for the first entry, and then enter Vietnam visa free a second time within 20 days for less than 15 days? The condition for visa free is "Two consecutive visa-free entries must be at least thirty (30) days apart. This rule does not apply to those who enter Vietnam with a valid visa.". This should apply because E-Visa is a valid visa for Germany, correct?
Thanks in advance,
Robert PeterVietnam Evisa SupportOct 21, 2017DEAR SIR,
We would like to confirm you that according to the Vietnam Immigration's new policy, from July 1, 2015 to June 30th 2018, Great Britain, France, Spain, German, Italy and Belarus no need Visa if they stay in Vietnam less than 15 days. However, the previous visit must be far from the next visit at least 30 days.

Visa
Oct 09, 2017Hi,
I understand that with the new visa policy that because I carry a German passport I do not require to purchase a visa for my stay before I travel as my stay is less than 15days. However I'm just not clear on wether I still need an approval letter?
Just to be clear does this exemption mean that there are no procedures that I need to do before my trip for a visa, and that I just arrive in Vietnam and get a visa stamp for my stay of 7days?
Thanks in advance,
SarahVietnam Evisa SupportOct 10, 2017Dear Sarah,
With visa exemption, your passport should have at least six months of validity upon the date of arrival to meet airlines’ requirements, and your arrival date is NOT within 30 days from their last exit date . Otherwise, you will need a Vietnam visa. There are no procedures, so you only need to bring your passport along and get your visa exemption stamp at the arrival airport.
For any further details, please contact us at visa@vietnam-evisa.org or call us at (+84) 909 343 525

Visa exemption for German
Sep 07, 2016Hi team,
As per your sharing, German can get 15 days visa exemption in Vietnam. However, latest entry should be beyond 30 days before.
How about if a German enters Vietnam with Study visa first time. Then exit the country before the visa due. Then enter Vietnam again with visa exemption one week later.
Is it possible or does he still need to stay outside the country 30 days before can get the visa exemption?
Thanks teamVietnam Evisa SupportSep 07, 2016Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your question.
We would like to inform with you that if he enters Vietnam with Studying Visa firstly then he can re-enter Vietnam without Visa after 30 days since the date he leaves out of Vietnam and does not need to wait for Visa's validity is expired.
Regards to your seconde point, we advise you that he does not need to wait for 30 days to re-enter Vietnam, he can apply Visa online from outside to get Visa at the airport with 3 following simple steps:

2nd, we will send the approval letter which is issued by the Immigration dept via his email within 2 working days.
