Keep entry restrictions

Vietnam continues restricting entry of foreign nationals and those allowed to enter Vietnam must be quarantined for 14 days, VnExpress International reported.

Starting March 22, Vietnam had suspended entry for all foreign nationals, including those of Vietnamese origin and family members with visa waivers.

Only Vietnamese nationals and foreigners carrying diplomatic and official passports such as business managers, experts and high-skilled workers are allowed to enter the country at this time, and all entrants will be quarantined for 14 days.

While localities are allowed to relax restrictive measures related to the Covid-19 pandemic to restore economic and social activities, they should ensure it remains under control, especially in HCMC, Hanoi, and other large cities.

After a long time of halting operation due to Covid-19, series of historical relics and tourist sites nationwide have got green lights from local authorities to reopen and receive visitors including some touristic sites in Da Lat, Danang, Phu Quoc among others.
