Vietnam extends UK visitor visa waiver

The government of Vietnam has announced that it is extending its visa exemption program for UK passport holders for single-entry stays of up to 15 days, until June 30th, 2017. The policy, which was first introduced on July 1st, 2015, also applies to French, German, Spanish and Italian nationals.

The extension of the visa exemption program comes just after the introduction of Vietnam Airlines’ daily non-stop services between Heathrow and Vietnam – a new Thursday flight to Hanoi was added to the national flag carrier and SkyTeam member’s existing six flights per week schedule on June 23rd this year.

Vietnam Airlines offers the UK’s only nonstop flights to Vietnam, operating the B787-9 Dreamliner from Heathrow Terminal 4.

The flights are carefully scheduled to offer convenient overnight journeys in both directions, and excellent onward connections via its comprehensive network of over 40 destinations in Asia, including 23 within Vietnam and Indochina as well as China, Japan and Taiwan.
