Loosened Vietnam visa policy for tourist

Draft policies will be presented to the Government by the national steering committee for tourism, aim to make it easier for international travelers to enter Vietnam, the loosened visa policy proposal is also included.

It is told by the Vietnam National Tourism Administration that the visa-free policy should be kept for 7 major markets, including Denmark, Japan, Russia, Sweden, South Korea, Finland and Norway. Besides, the duration of stay for travelers should be 30 days instead of 15 days in the visa exemption rule at the present.

Applying for a Vietnamvisa on arrival is so easy and convenient for applicants. Once obtaining a pre-approved letter, a tourist or businessman can get his or her visa at a Vietnam international airport. However, some people are confused while filling out the Vietnam visa application form at a website due to choice of arrival ports. There are always only 3 options for an applicant to choose: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh and Da Nang airport.

Visa on arrival is a kind of visa which can be issued directly at the destination upon arrival. It allows a person to stay in a country for a certain period of time. Basic requirement for being granted a visa on arrival is having a passport with at least 6 months of validity, a two way airplane ticket and a certain amount of fee.  For example, Indonesia offers visa on arrival program for 64 countries while India offers this program to eleven countries.

Traveling internationally should be an enriching experience, allowing you to experience other cultures and places without any worries. Unfortunately, there are those who are looking to take advantage of foreign tourists. These tips will help you stay safe no matter what part of the world you decide to travel to.

Do the paperwork. It might seem like common sense, but you should get both a passport and visa, if required for your travel. The State Department can help you determine exactly what you need to do to prepare for your trip. Also, don’t forget to fill out the emergency information page located in your passport, something most people forget to do. 

Belonging to the lists of four most common types of Vietnam visa on arrival, three month multiple entry visa brings lots of advantages for tourists in need of entering Vietnam by air. With this kind of visa in hand, tourists can enter and exit Vietnam as much as they want during their visa validity.

Some recent articles state that the three month multiple entry business visa is not accepted at Vietnam international airports anymore. At the same time, a big number of Vietnam visa online agencies stop arranging this visa type. This change especially affects most businessmen having high needs of obtaining this 3 month-multiple business visa on arrival. Although applicants can get this visa at an embassy, they still search for an online visa agent capable of providing them this 3 month multiple visa on arrival. Some customers state that there is no Vietnam embassy in their country, some express that they are so familiar with getting their visa by using online service, others just want to avoid complex paperwork.

One of the most important lessons travelers learn is that they should work only with trustworthy individuals and companies. Whether it is booking a hotel room, finding a great rental car or securing travel documents, travelers need to be careful.

When it comes to travel documents, it is even more important to exercise caution. After all, not securing the right travel documents could end your trip before it even begins. If you have traveled internationally before, chances are you already have a valid passport, but if you are planning a trip to a more exotic destination, you might find that you need additional documentation, like a valid entry visa.

If you have been planning a business trip or personal vacation to the country of Vietnam, you have probably been doing a lot of research. From the cost of essentials like hotel rooms, meals out and transportation to the must-see sites in each city and town, it is only natural to want to learn as much about your destination as you can.

One thing you will obviously need to know is what kinds of travel documents you will need to enter the country of Vietnam and move around during your vacation or business trip. You obviously need a passport to enter Vietnam, but you also need to have a valid visa to enter the country.
