Simplified procedures for for foreigners' Vietnam entry (@Budman1)

A document that simplifies procedures for foreigners entering the country approved by the Vietnamese government on January 18 took effect immediately, says foreign ministry spokeswoman Le Thi Thu Hang.
"The decision takes effect on the date of signing," Hang confirmed at a Thursday's press conference in response to a question by VnExpress International.

She said that Deputy Prime Minister Pham Binh Minh has agreed in principle to simplify administrative procedures for foreigners entering Vietnam.

Accordingly, foreign arrivals with valid papers, including visa, visa exemption, residency card and temporary residence card will be allowed to enter Vietnam without having to obtain prior permission from the Immigration Department under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and local authorities.

Previously, anyone wanting to enter Vietnam had to prepare a list of documents including approvals from the People's Committee and the Department of Immigration, proof of vaccination, PCR test results and a health insurance certificate for quarantine.

On January 1, Vietnam partially reopened regular commercial flights on nine international routes covering China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Laos, Cambodia, and the U.S.

Hang said that people who do not have all the above mentioned documents have to obtain approval from provinces and related ministries under the Law on Foreigners' Entry Into, Exit From, Transit Through, and Residence in Vietnam.

The regulation also applies to overseas Vietnamese and their relatives, she added.

Hang said Vietnam currently accepts vaccine passports from 79 countries and territories.

The 10 countries that accept Vietnam vaccine passports are: Australia, Belarus, Cambodia, India, Japan, Maldives, Palestine, the Philippines, the U.K. and the U.S.

Dont you think you are congratulating the wrong person here. All the guy Andybris2020 did was copy the link that Budman posted earlier word for word & posted it under a new heading. I think most of us on the forum are quite capable on clicking on a link & reading it.

It has Budmans name on the title plus a link to his origional post all I did was copy paste the info so it was in it's own thread so easier to see - the link was inside a business topic thread which some people may not have been interested in so may have missed.

I also told Budman what I did "Thats great info Rick - I'll copy paste it for everyone to see in its own thread." so I wasnt trying to steal anyones thunder.

So glad that's all settled, though it's my sense (after interacting with him for about 4 years here in the forum) that Rick is one of the least likely members to give a sh*t whether he gets credit for stuff that he shares.

Maybe I'm wrong...

Not yet, but things are definitely moving in that direction for tourist visas.

One opinion is that it will happen as early as the end of April.

But some think it will be sooner and others think it won't be until June.

Just take a look at some of the threads that have been active recently and there's been a lot of discussion you can read.

The only way you can come in right now as a tourist is to be a part of a tour group with a restricted itinerary.

Thanks OB, will try to dig for more...
So as I understand, even you can't go back to be with your partner?
So strick...

Basically unless you have a VEC, TRC, business visa or tourist visa tied specifically to a tour you aren't getting in.
