The Vietnamese government has stated that the country would open its doors to all foreign tourists on March 15. On January 24, the country restarted flights to and from Russia, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, among other destinations.
For the time being, the remainder of the permitted immigrants must be quarantined. It might take anywhere from 10 to 21 days, depending on where they are traveling to in the world. On March 5, tourist associations in Vietnam expressed concern over new tight entrance restrictions.
On March 15, Vietnam will reopen its borders to foreign tourists. The new package of “inconsistent” limitations is causing anxiety in the tourism industry about its capacity to attract international tourists. For the first 24 hours after their arrival in Vietnam, international visitors must remain in quarantine for a total of 72 hours; the first 24 hours are mandatory.
On the first and third days after their arrival, they will be tested for Covid-19 throughout the duration of this time period. It is necessary for those who need to leave the country after one day to submit three tests instead of two, in addition to the negative PCR test, which must be submitted 72 hours before their arrival in Vietnam.
“If the government has removed all restrictions for domestic visitors during the new normal time, why aren’t we treating foreign and domestic tourists equally?” says the author. Nguyen Tien Dat, general director of AZA Travel, a travel company located in Hanoi, expressed his views.
On February 19, Vietnam said that the nation will reopen on March 15. Vietnamese officials think they will be able to completely reopen the country’s borders to foreign visitors on March 15, three months ahead of schedule, according to the tourism ministry.
Arriving passengers will be required to be completely immunized. It is necessary for visitors to present a negative PCR test done within 72 hours of their departure date, as well as a negative fast antigen test taken within 24 hours of their arrival date.
Aside from that, foreign nationals will need to obtain insurance that covers COVID-19 for a minimum cost of $10,000. As the new standards are finalized, it is possible that further admission requirements may be issued in the following weeks.
