Vietnam government issued a resolution on visa exemptions for citizens of Poland, the Czech Republic and Switzerland starting March 2025. The decision is part of the government's goal to boost inbound tourism this year, according to Resolution No. 11/NQ-CP dated January 15, 2025.
This new policy will apply to those traveling under itineraries organized by Vietnamese international tour operators until December 31, 2025.
Citizens of Poland, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland will be allowed visa exemptions for a tourism-related stay of up to 45 days from the date of admission.
Currently, Viet Nam also unilaterally exempts visas for citizens from 13 countries, namely Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the UK, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Belarus, with a duration of stay of up to 45 days from the date of entry.
