Vietnam visa for vaccine passport.

Currently, some countries have allowed for Vaccination Passport to promote tourism and business. Vietnamese Government are considering to allowing for Corvid vaccine passport. The government are speeding up the discussion on the policies, procedures regarding to visa vaccine.

Among the recent entries to Vietnam, some have "vaccine passports", but according to Vietnamese regulations, these people still have to quarantine for 14 days and take 2 tests to ensure epidemic prevention.

There has been a lot of discussion on media and forums about whether or not to exempt or reduce the quarantine period for foreigners entering Vietnam if he or she has a vaccine passport or certificate. However, up to now, the isolation policies for travelers has not yet updated by the Ministry of Health and the procedures for applying for entry visas are still under the provisions of the Immigration Agency.Currently, the Government consider that that specific policies related to "visa vaccine" must be based on subsequent assessments on the safety and immunity of each vaccine and in each country.  From there, government will issue  appropriate mechanisms, in the spirit of creating favorable conditions to achieve “dual goals” of promoting economic development and ensuring safety.
