Citizens of Poland, Czechia, and Switzerland will be permitted to visit Vietnam without applying for a visa before travelling to the Southeast Asian country. This measure will enter into force on 1 March 2025, and will be effective until 31 December 2025.
Nationals of Switzerland, Czechia, and Poland will be able to stay in Vietnam for up to 45 days, as long as their main purpose of visit is tourism, which the country is determined to promote. As informed by a news report in Schengen.News.
The new changes also apply to those travelling with the Vietnamese International Tour operator, who must meet the country’s legal entry requirements.
On top of Switzerland, Poland, and Czechia, Vietnam already permits visa-free entry to eight other EU countries and the other three that are on the European continent.
Nationals of Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain and Sweden are eligible to visit Vietnam without applying for a visa prior to their travel, provided that their stay does not exceed 45 days. Unrestricted travel for these countries is offered as part of the Vietnamese government’s efforts to promote tourism.
Brits, Russians and Belarusians also enjoy visa-free entry to Vietnam for short stays.
