The Vietnamese government has just approved a new policy for New Zealanders seeking electronic credentials. Consequently, New Zealanders may apply for a 3-month multiple-entry visa to Vietnam through the e-visa system beginning in August 2023.
1/ Vietnam 3-month multiple-entry electronic visa for New Zealanders beginning in August 2023
In 2017, Vietnam e-visa was piloted for the first time. Nationals of New Zealand could only register for a single-entry e-visa with a maximum validity of 30 days at that time. 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 New Zealand tourists and international tourists in general.
After the August 2023 meeting of the National Assembly, the Vietnamese government authorized a revised visa policy for revised Zealanders. Vietnam’s e-visa has been extended from 30 to 90 days, and multiple entries are permitted. This is a novel initiative to entice novel Zealanders to return to Vietnam as visitors.
