Effective from July 1 UK citizens no longer need to apply for a visa when entering Vietnam, for stays of 15 days or less, facilitating the ease of travel to the country as well as cutting costs.
Visa free travel will be available from July 1 2015 until June 30 2016 and is also available for visitors from France, Germany, Italy and Spain following an announcement at the Mekong Tourism Forum.
Laurence Hicks, managing director at Wendy Wu Tours, said: ?We are delighted that Vietnam is further opening its doors to UK and EU tourism by relaxing the visa rules. It is a move towards recognition that UK and EU visitors are undeniably valuable to Vietnam?s tourism economy.
