What are the restrictions right now for coming to Vietnam? Can I come to Vietnam on May 1? Would there be any problems entering the country?
Thank you for your comment.
From March 22, 2020, the Vietnamese government has suspended entry to all foreigners, including people with a Vietnamese visa exemption certificate. In Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, these two municipalities have established multiple checkpoints to screen entrants coming in and out of the cities. Other cities and provinces may also take similar measures without prior notice.
Therefore, it cannot be assured that you could enter Vietnam on May 1st, 2020. Please keep following because we will continue to update the latest information and changes on our articles about COVID-19 situation.
