According to the Kien Giang Department of Tourism, Phu Quoc is currently the only destination in Vietnam with a special visa policy for foreigners and Vietnamese people holding foreign passports. Entry, exit, and residence on the island are visa-free, with a temporary stay of up to 30 days.
This visa exemption policy simplifies procedures for groups of conference, seminar, and event guests (MICE groups), which often have a large number of participants. Thanks to this policy, many international flights are operated at Phu Quoc with regular flights, connecting to Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Mongolia, with more routes to Northern Europe, North America and Central Asia in the near future.
