Minister To Lam said: “Granting electronic visas for foreigners meet the socio-economic demands of Vietnam and are in line with Vietnam’s extensive international integration. This move will create favorable conditions for attracting foreigners to invest in and visit Vietnam. It also represents Vietnam’s foreign policy of equality and mutual benefit. Based on the pilot project, the Vietnamese government will consider halting the unilateral visa exemption. By so doing, the Ministry of Public Security will be more proactive in ensuring security”.
