Those who benefit from this policy must be Vietnamese citizens with permanent residence in three major cities of Vietnam: Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City, and do not need to have occupational priority. Vietnamese citizens with new visas will be allowed to enter Korea for a maximum of 30 days, with no limit on the number of entries and exits within 5 years.
Korea is one of the favorite tourist destinations of Vietnamese people in recent years.
The Korean Ambassador to Vietnam, Mr. Kim Do Hyon, said there are two main reasons why Korea chose Vietnam as the first Southeast Asian country to apply the new visa policy. Firstly, this is the time when the Korean government implements the new “Southern Policy”, and secondly because of the affection that the Vietnamese people have for the head coach of the Vietnamese Football team, Park Hang Seo.
Sharing with the press, the Ambassador also said that during his visit to Vietnam in March, President Moon Jae In emphasized that Vietnam is the most important partner in the Southeast Asian region and an important partner in the country's new "Southern" policy. Therefore, the Korean government hopes that with the new visa policy, opportunities for business cooperation, investment, and promoting exchanges between the two peoples will be increased.
Unique culture is one of the tourist attractions of Korea.
After applying the 5-year visa issuance for people with registered residence in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City, people in other large cities and provinces in the country such as Hai Phong, Da Lat, Nha Trang will receive this incentive.
According to statistics from the Korea Tourism Organization, the number of Vietnamese people coming to Korea in the first 10 months of 2018 was more than 440,000 people, and in 2017 it was 380,000 people, ranking second, only after Thailand.
