The Law also allows citizens of certain countries to be unilaterally exempted from visas and granted temporary residence for 45 days (previously 15 days), and their visa issuance and temporary residence extension will be considered according to regulations.

The procedures are simple and convenient, as tourists  are not required to visit Vietnamese representative offices abroad or go through intermediary procedures to apply for visas. Additionally, the electronic visa issuance process involves pre-approval, which helps immigration authorities filter out individuals who are not eligible for entry, thus meeting the requirements of immigration management.

Currently, e-visas are issued by the Immigration Department through an electronic transaction system and are valid for a single entry. Vietnam currently grants e-visas to citizens of 80 countries.

This law will come into effect on August 15, 2023.
