The new regulation follows the visa waiver agreement signed by the two Governments on October 17th, 2016.
Accordingly, citizens of the two countries carrying ordinary passports with at least six-month validity will be waived from visa requirements upon entry through international border gates. Their stay must not exceed 90 days from the date of entry.
In case of staying more than 90 days, travelers must ask permission from authorities.
The regulation is not applicable for entry with the purpose of conducting income-bearing activities.
Vietnam now waives visas for travelers from 23 countries and territories. From this February 1st, the Government started piloting e-visas for citizens of 40 countries and territories in Asia, Europe and America.
With e-visas, foreign citizens can enter Vietnam through 8 airports, 13 road border gates and 7 seaports./.
