Who do not need a visa to Vietnam?

Citizens of some countries do not need a visa for short visits but do please check that the following information is still valid:

1. Stays of not more than 30 days: citizens of Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Cambodia and Laos.
2. Stays of not more than 21 days: citizens of Phillippines.
3. Stays of not more than 15 days: citizens of Japan, South Korea, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Russian Federation.

While there are various Visa Exemptions i.e. for travel to   Phu Quoc Island (subject to the 15 day rule), such travel invariably has to be booked through authorised Vietnamese travel agents.
