Nguyn Van Jung, Vietnam’s Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, called for short-term visa waivers for major markets like China and India to shore up the recovery of the country’s tourism sector.
In the first ten months of 2023, Vietnam received around 10 million international visitors, a 4.6-fold rise from 2022. Prior to the outbreak of COVID-19, Vietnam welcomed around 1,70,000 Indian visitor arrivals.
Destinations such as Phu Quoc Island, Nha Trang, Da Nang, Ha Long Bay, and Hoi An are popular among Indian tourists. Beginning in August this year, Vietnam started issuing e-visas for individuals from all countries. These e-visas have a validity period of 90 days and allow multiple entries.
If this happens, Vietnam will become the third country after Sri Lanka and Thailand to allow visa-free entry for Indians.
