Amendments and supplements to the Law on exit and entry of Vietnamese citizens and the Law on entry, exit, transit and residence of foreigners in Vietnam were approved by the National Assembly on Sunday, the last day of the Assembly’s 5th session.

The law revision aims to meet the needs of international tourists and create favorable conditions for foreigners who want to enter Vietnam to conduct market research, and seek investment opportunities, especially in cases where there is a need to travel to many countries and return to Vietnam to evaluate doing business or investment expansion possibilities.

The law also allows citizens of countries that are unilaterally exempted from visas by Vietnam to be granted a temporary stay of 45 days, the average level in the region, instead of the current 15 days. This is expected to improve Vietnam's competitiveness in attracting international tourists.

The new law will begin to take effect on August 15, 2023.
