Poland, Czech Republic, Switzerland added to Vietnam 45 day visa exemption

From the first of March this year, travellers from Poland, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland will be able to enter Vietnam for 45 days visa free. This adds to a slowly growing list of foreign firms allowed visa free entry to the country.

Of note, visitors from Poland and Switzerland in 2024 totalled 51,157 and 33,584, respectively.

Vietnam’s tourism industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years, attracting millions of international visitors annually with its rich cultural heritage, natural landscapes, and vibrant cities. Key destinations like Ha Long Bay, Hoi An, and Hanoi draw travellers from around the world, while the rise of eco-tourism, adventure travel, and culinary tourism has further diversified the country’s appeal.

The industry is also supported by government policies aimed at making travel more accessible, including the aforementioned visa exemptions and a range of visa options for international visitors. While the COVID-19 pandemic caused a temporary setback, Vietnam’s tourism industry has shown resilience, with a steady rebound as global travel restrictions ease. As the country positions itself as a regional leader in tourism, ongoing efforts to improve service standards, develop sustainable tourism practices, and promote lesser-known destinations will be key to its long-term growth and competitiveness.
