@James Kerr, Australian and New Zealand passport holders still require a visa to visit Vietnam; the 45-day exemption applies only to the listed countries above.

I have a Japanese passport. Does this new 45 days visa free rule allow me to enter and exit multiple times within 45 days? I need to exit and re-enter Vietnam as I am going to take 3 different cruises during 45 days.

I hold a French passport and I see France listed among the visa-exempted countries. Does that mean I need to do nothing? Just buy a return ticket and I will be granted a stay of up to 45 days?

Any letters or documents needed to get the 45 day visa for a British Passport holder? It's a new passport could that be a problem?

@Bill Miller, You don't need any letters or documents. Just make sure that your passport is valid for at least 6 months upon exiting Vietnam. New passport is also not a problem.
