    <\/span>Regarding the visa to get in Vietnam<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    On Tuesday, the defense, public security, tourism, health, foreign affairs and transport ministries agreed at a government meeting that as Vietnam fully reopens its air, land and sea borders from March 15, all travel restrictions imposed since the pandemic broke out in Vietnam in 2020 would be removed.<\/p>\n

    The ministries proposed the government resumes the unilateral visa exemption policy for 13 countries and bilateral for 88 countries and territories\u00a0as prior to the pandemic<\/a>.\u00a0Further updates on visa and other paperwork will be published as soon as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    In the spirit of flexible adaptation and safe, effective control of pandemic, each relevant ministry and sector must be urgent in their assigned role to reopen tourism in a safe manner, and soon submit their respective\u00a0guidances related to tourism reopening and report to the Government on the matter.<\/p>\n

    Starting from yesterday (15 Feb), Vi\u1ec7t Nam has also\u00a0lifted all pandemic-era restrictions<\/a>\u00a0on frequency and destinations of\u00a0outbound and inbound flights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
