VISA POLICY IS COMING BACK TO POLICY POLICY
Vietnam is planning to reopen domestic tourism from March 15, but now there are a lot of foreign tourists "delayed", not coming to Vietnam because they are waiting for the official announcement from the Government. on visa policy.
In fact, from 2020 until now, the bilateral and multilateral visa exemption policies have helped the Vietnamese Government control the epidemic, but failed to stimulate international tourism activities that have just been piloted to reopen. again. The pilot program to welcome international visitors of some Vietnamese provinces and cities only received a modest number of visitors, about 9,000 guests in 4 months.
Understanding this, recently, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to urgently submit a plan to restore the visa policy as before the COVID-19 epidemic.
Visa policy is one of the factors that bring a competitive advantage to a country's tourism industry. Many countries around the world have taken advantage of this such as Belarus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, Russia, Korea, Spain, Sweden or the US. At the time before the pandemic, they allowed their citizens to visit Vietnam for up to 15 days without a visa.
So, from March 15, Vietnam will lift most of the travel restrictions and foreign tourists will be allowed to visit Vietnam without booking a package tour. This is a positive move, marking the return of Vietnam's tourism industry after the epidemic.
