Which Countries Get 30-Day Visa-Free in Vietnam?
⚡ Quick Answer
Most ASEAN members get visa-free entry to Vietnam. Duration varies: Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos = 30 days; Philippines = 21 days; Myanmar & Brunei = 14 days.
Vietnam’s bilateral visa-free agreements vary by country. ASEAN neighbors generally receive 30 days, while most Western countries now receive 45 days after the 2023 policy expansion:
| Country | Visa-Free Days | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos | 30 days | Bilateral agreement |
| Philippines | 21 days | Bilateral agreement |
| Myanmar, Brunei | 14 days | Bilateral agreement |
| UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Russia, Japan, South Korea | 45 days | Unilateral (to 14/3/2028) |
| ~12 additional countries (from 15/8/2025) | 45 days | Verify full list at evisa.gov.vn |
⚠️ Always verify before traveling. Vietnam’s visa-free policy operates under time-limited government resolutions that can change. US, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand citizens are NOT visa-free — they need an e-visa. As of July 2026.
✅ ASEAN travelers: Consider the $50 multiple-entry e-visa for trips longer than 30 days — it gives 90 days with unlimited entries and far more flexibility.
Visa-free entry means you arrive with just your passport — no e-visa or approval letter needed. The 30-day clock starts at your entry stamp, not at midnight on the border.
