The Vietnamese government has recently approved a new policy for electronic visas for German citizens. Consequently, beginning in August 2023, German citizens may register for a 3-month multiple-entry visa to Vietnam via the e-visa system.
1/ A fresh approach to Vietnam E-visa valid for 3 months with multiple entries for German citizens beginning in August 2023
In 2017, Vietnam e-visa was piloted for the first time. At that time, German nationals could only register for a single-entry e-visa with a maximum validity of thirty days. After Covid-19 severely impacted the tourism industry, the Vietnamese government reopened the industry and attracted international tourists. However, visas continue to be a barrier for both German and international visitors.
After the August 2023 conference of the National Assembly, the Vietnamese government authorized a new visa policy for German citizens. Vietnam’s e-visa has been extended from 30 to 90 days, and multiple entries are permitted. This is a novel initiative to entice German travelers to return to Vietnam.
