The Government has decided to issue e-visas to all foreign arrivals at 42 ports of entry from August 15, according to its Resolution No. 127/NQ-CP dated August 14, 2023.

This is a major change that will make it much easier for foreign tourists and business travelers to visit Vietnam. Previously, e-visas were only valid for 30 days, which was not enough time for many people to see all that Vietnam has to offer. The new 90-day validity period will allow visitors to stay longer and explore more of the country.

In addition to the longer validity period, the new e-visas will also be valid for multiple entries. This means that visitors can enter and exit Vietnam as many times as they want within the 90-day period. This is a great benefit for people who want to visit multiple cities or destinations in Vietnam.
