Accordingly, Vietnam began to issue online visas on January 1. The policy offers simple procedures for foreigners to travel to Vietnam as tourists or on business. Nguyen Van Tuan, General Director of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, says the e-visa is one of the government’s measures to boost tourism.
In addition, according to Nguyen Van Tuan, General Director of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, E-visa applicants will receive a reply within 3 days. An e-visa has a validity period of 30 days. Tourists from any country can apply for an e-visa without a letter of guarantee or invitation.

On January 5, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism also released a code of conduct for domestic and foreign tourists, in an effort to improve the reputation of the city. Last year, similar rules were released in several other localities, including Da Nang and Nha Trang. The capital city of Hanoi and Hoi An city in the central province of Quang Nam have also released codes of conduct.
