Vietnam to extend tourist visas
Vietnam will grant longer tourist visas to boost its sluggish tourism recovery.

It wants the current 30 days to be extended to a maximum of three months.
The Government Office said the e-visa would be be valid for single or multiple entry.
Currently this tourist visa is for single-entry and available to nationals of 80 countries.
The government wants to expand it to more countries.
