A new policy allowing Austrian people to obtain electronic visas in Vietnam has been approved. Thus, beginning in August 2023, Austrian citizens will be able to use the e-visa system to apply for a 3-month multiple-entry visa to Vietnam.
1/ New policy on Vietnam 3-month multiple-entry E-visa for Austrian citizens effective from August 2023
In 2017, an electronic visa for Vietnam was tested for the first time. At the time, the only type of e-visa available to citizens of Austria was a 30-day single-entry visa. After Covid-19 devastated the tourism business, the Vietnamese government opened it back up and began attracting foreign tourists once again. However, visa requirements continue to be an obstacle for foreign visitors, including those from Austria.
The government of Vietnam enacted a new visa policy for Austrian nationals after the August 2023 meeting of the National Assembly. The duration of the Vietnam e-visa has increased from 30 to 90 days, and repeated entries are permitted. This is a new initiative aimed at luring visitors from Austria to Vietnam.
