Vietnam’s government has decided to temporarily halt visa issuance to foreigners for 30 days, applicable since March 18. Due to the increasing number of passengers infected with COVID-19 on flights that enter Vietnam recently, the Prime Minister decided to propose a suspension of visas to travelers from all countries, to limit the spread of the virus.    

A variety of countries have suspended visa on arrival for foreign visitors, in an attempt to prevent the spread of coronavirus.    

Vietnam will temporarily suspend visa-free travel for Italians from Tuesday amid fast-rising COVID-19 infections in the European country.
