The Tourism Situation in Vietnam 2023<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vietnam has long been a popular destination for tourists, with its rich cultural heritage, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant cities. However, the Covid-19 pandemic significantly impacted the tourism industry worldwide, including Vietnam. The official tourism numbers have fluctuated in recent years due to travel restrictions and safety concerns. While there have been periods of decline, the government has been actively working to revive the tourism sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourism in Vietnam in the year 2023<\/a> is not recovering as fast as the country would like. Vietnam has fallen behind the rate of growth seen in her neighbors. “In 2022, Vietnam welcomed just 3.6 million tourists, around 18 percent of its pre-pandemic 19 million.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an effort to boost tourism, Vietnam has made changes to its visa requirements for entry into the country. The introduction of e-visas and visa exemptions for certain nationalities has aimed to facilitate easier access for tourists. These measures have had varying degrees of success, with some nationalities experiencing an increase in arrivals. However, the overall tourism numbers are still in the process of recovering fully from the pandemic’s aftermath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Visa Requirements for Expats in Vietnam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vietnam has also been striving to attract expats to live and work in the country. The ease of moving to Vietnam and achieving happiness and success as an expat<\/a> is an important aspect of the country’s appeal. In recent years, the government has implemented several changes to visa requirements to make it more convenient for expats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The introduction of long-term visas, such as the TRC (Temporary Residence Card)<\/a> and the DT (Investment Visa), has provided expats with more stability and flexibility. Additionally, streamlined procedures and reduced processing times have made it easier for expats to obtain the necessary permits and documents. These efforts reflect Vietnam’s commitment to attracting foreign talent and fostering a welcoming environment for expats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
