Vietnam is considering a significant move to attract more international tourists by introducing visa waivers for citizens of several countries. Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has directed the ministries of public security and foreign affairs to explore this initiative, aiming to position Vietnam as a top travel destination in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Vietnam offers visa exemptions to a limited 25 countries, trailing behind its neighbors like Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand in terms of visa-free access. This proposed change reflects Vietnam’s determination to compete effectively in the region’s tourism market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While specific countries eligible for the potential visa waivers have not been revealed, the move is expected to significantly boost Vietnam’s tourism industry. The country aims to welcome 18 million international visitors by the end of 2024, and this initiative could be a major step towards achieving this goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
