The Vietnamese government has approved the granting of electronic visas for up to three months for long-stay tourists as it prepares to relax travel regulations to boost the country’s economic growth. The electronic visas will be valid for single-entry or multiple entries, and citizens from all countries and territories would be able to stay in Vietnam for a maximum of three months, up from the current 30 days. The proposal will be submitted to parliament for review and approval in May. The move aims to attract both foreign tourists and international investors, creating a driving force for economic recovery and growth. Despite being one of the first Southeast Asian countries to fully reopen its doors to foreign visitors, Vietnam received only 20% of pre-pandemic levels of foreign visitors, with 3.66 million arrivals last year. The country targets to receive 8 million foreign arrivals, earning $27.3 billion in revenue this year, up 31% from last year.
