Proposal to exempt visas for citizens of countries where the epidemic has ended

Mr. Hoang Nhan Chinh, Head of the Tourism Advisory Board (TAB) Secretariat, said that Vietnam has now been able to control Covid-19. In upcoming marketing and promotion activities, Vietnam can find a slogan like "Vietnam - Safe Destination", because safety is what makes tourists feel secure during this period.

Mr. Chinh also said that if Vietnam opens its doors, it should only open to countries that are safe from the epidemic. TAB has proposed that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism discuss together to come up with criteria for countries that are safe from the epidemic, and at the same time, will come up with a strict process to welcome international tourists from these countries to Vietnam. This process ensures that the epidemic does not enter Vietnam, but still creates favorable conditions for tourists from countries that are safe from Covid-19 and have a need for tourism.
