HI, I understand Singaporeans do not need a visa to visit Vietnam for less than 30 days. Do we need to fill in any form upfront before entry or just show our passport at the immigration counter?
@Victor Lau, you’re correct — Singaporeans can enter Vietnam visa-free for up to 30 days. You don’t need to fill out any forms, just present your valid passport at immigration upon arrival.
Hi am a SG citizen if I plan on staying in Vietnam for 3 years straight? Can it be done?
@Eugene, There is currently no 3-year visa option for Vietnam. You can start with a 3-month visa and apply for extensions 1-2 times. This would allow for a total stay of 6-9 months, assuming the extensions are approved.
