Vietnam extends visa waiver for five European countries
Date: 7/3/2016 11:27:24 PM
Vietnam has decided to extend a visa waiver program benefiting citizens of five European countries, which ended on Thursday, as the policy has proved to be successful after one year in effect.
German, French, British, Italian, and Spanish visitors will continue to be able to enjoy a visa-free travel policy that allows for a 15-day stay for each entry for a year ending July 30, 2017, according to a directive signed Thursday by Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc.
The previous visa waiver, valid from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016, did increase arrivals from those five countries by 15 percent to 681,000 after 11 months in effect, according to the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT).
In the first five months of this year, tourist arrivals from the five countries topped 342,000, a 20.10 percent from the same period last year.
The Vietnamese government has agreed an extension for the program, but rejected a proposal to increase the validity and allowed stays for the policy.
In May, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the VNAT urged the government to waive visas for the same five countries for the next five years from the new policy’s effective date, with an allowed 30-day stay for each entry.
Vietnam’s international arrivals topped 4.7 million in the first half of this year, up 21.3 percent year on year.
In the six-month period, Italy posted the biggest increase in tourist numbers, 30 percent, followed by the UK and Spain, 24.6 percent and 22.7 percent, respectively. Vietnam saw a 17.1 percent and 13.8 percent increase of arrivals from Germany and France.
