During the Covid-19 pandemic period, New Zealand passport holders as well as other nationalities cannot apply Vietnam tourist visa and travel to Vietnam. All travel plan has been cancelled and New Zealand citizens need to wait until Vietnam tourism open again. And now, after pandemic is basically controlled, Vietnam government abolished travel restrictions for New Zealand tourists.
Vietnam has banned entry for all international tourists, included New Zealand nationality, from March 2020. From that time, no one can apply Vietnam tourist visa. Only business visa is granted for those who come to Vietnam for working purpose. And only commercial flights are operated. For those who want to travel to Vietnam, there is no way!
After Covid-19 pandemic is well controlled and many people in the world are vaccinated, Vietnam government decided to open tourist visa program again. Accordingly, those who travel from well-controlled pandemic countries can apply tourist visa and travel to Vietnam, included New Zealand.
