Vietnam is extending visa-free validity for some nationalities.

This is a threefold increase on the previous limit of 15 days.
Brits planning to stay longer can also apply for an e-visa through the online portal and stay for up to 90 days, which is up from the previous maximum of 30 days.
Additionally, the extended e-visa will now be valid for multiple entries.
A Vietnam Airlines spokesperson said: “These changes will significantly enhance the flexibility of travel for visitors to Vietnam and other countries in the region.”
Multi-destination British travellers will be able to enter Vietnam, travel on to other nations, and return.”
