Draft circular raising visa fees into Vietnam

According to the draft circular of the Ministry of Finance (MoF) onthe regulations on collection, payment, management and usage of fees forvisas and passports into Vietnam, fees for obtaining a multiple-entryvisa into the country will be strongly increased:

Previous to the change, the fees were $65 for a visa of less than onemonth, $95 for less than six months, and $135 for six months upwards.

Meanwhile, a single-entry visa for tourists remains unchanged, at $45 under the draft circular.

When VIR asked MoF’s Deputy Minister Vu Thi Mai at last week’sgovernment press conference about the rise in fees for multiple-entryvisas, she refused to comment on the issue.

Nguyen Van Tuan, director of a locally-owned tourist company inHanoi, told VIR that: “I suggest that single-entry visa fees fortourists not be raised, though the existing fee level of $45 remainsunchanged in the draft circular. If it was raised, local tourismindustry would be badly affected as the number of foreign tourists woulddecrease.”
