Citizens of Poland, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic will be exempt from visas when traveling to Vietnam from March 1 to December 31, 2025, as part of the country’s tourism stimulus program.
Visa Exemption for Three Nations
According to the 2025 Tourism Stimulus Program issued by the Vietnamese Government, citizens from Poland, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic will be granted visa-free entry to Vietnam. This exemption will be effective from March 1 to December 31, 2025. During this period, travelers from these three countries can enter Vietnam without a visa, provided their visit is for tourism purposes.
Additionally, tourists participating in tours organized by Vietnamese international travel agencies will be allowed to stay for up to 45 days. The visa exemption applies regardless of passport type, as long as travelers meet Vietnam’s legal entry requirements. This move by the government aims to boost tourism and attract visitors from potential markets.
Electronic Visa (E-Visa) for All Nationalities
Since August 15, 2023, Vietnam has been issuing electronic visas (e-visas) to citizens of all countries and territories. Visitors can enter and exit Vietnam using e-visas at 13 international airports, including:
- Noi Bai (Hanoi), Tan Son Nhat (Ho Chi Minh City), Da Nang, Cam Ranh, Can Tho, Cat Bi, Phu Bai, Phu Quoc, Tho Xuan, Van Don, Dong Hoi, Lien Khuong, and Phu Cat.
Additionally, e-visas are accepted at 16 land border gates, such as:
- Mong Cai (Quang Ninh), Tay Trang (Dien Bien), Lao Cai, Na Meo (Thanh Hoa), Huu Nghi (Lang Son), Cau Treo (Ha Tinh), Cha Lo (Quang Binh), Nam Can (Nghe An), Bo Y (Kon Tum), La Lay and Lao Bao (Quang Tri), Tinh Bien and Vinh Xuong (An Giang), Ha Tien (Kien Giang), Moc Bai and Xa Mat (Tay Ninh).
Extended Stay for Visa-Exempt Travelers
On the same day, the government also announced an extension of temporary stay duration from 15 days to 45 days for citizens of 13 countries that Vietnam unilaterally exempts from visas. These countries include:
- France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, South Korea, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Belarus.
Citizens from these countries can now stay in Vietnam for up to 45 days, regardless of their purpose of entry.
This latest policy reflects Vietnam’s ongoing efforts to enhance its tourism industry and welcome more international visitors.
