Vietnam to extend tourist visas

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

The government will propose to the National Assembly to extend the duration of e-visas.

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.

Vietnam also has visa waivers for a limited number of countries allowing stays of up to 15 days.

Vietnam opened borders a year ago but the tourism recovery has been slow.

It only received 3.6 million foreign tourists last year.
