Visa-exempt entry to Vietnam
Citizens of 24 countries are exempt from visas when entering Vietnam under the following conditions:
Travelers from Poland, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland may enter Vietnam visa-free from March 1 to December 31, 2025, for stays of up to 45 days. This applies to tourism trips organized by licensed Vietnamese international travel agencies, regardless of passport type.
All nationalities are exempted from visas to Phu Quoc Island for 30 days if they directly visit Phu Quoc or transit through other international airports in Vietnam before arriving in Phu Quoc.
To enter Vietnam under unilateral visa exemption, foreigners must have a valid passport for at least 6 months. Additionally, there must be a minimum gap of 30 days from their latest exit from Vietnam. This means that if you intend to return to Vietnam within 30 days after your visa-free stay, you will need to apply for a new visa to enter the country.
