Visa Exemption: Questions & Answers
Who can enter Vietnam without a visa, and for how long. Answers on the 45-day exemption, shorter stays for ASEAN passports, extending a visa-free stay, leaving and coming back, which passport to use if you hold two, and when to get an e-visa.
Questions from travelers whose passport may let them enter Vietnam without a visa: which nationalities qualify, how many days you get, what to do when your trip is longer than the visa-free stay, and whether leaving and coming back starts a new one. Visa-free entry depends on the passport you travel on, not the country you live in.
The list of countries changes from time to time, so check the current one in our Vietnam visa exemption guide before you book. A longer stay needs a visa, and the e-visa covers up to 90 days.
