Visa & passport
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the date of entry into the territory.
Visa waiver
Italian, French, German, Spanish and English nationals are exempt from visa requirements for stays up to 15 days (including entry and exit days). This visa waiver is only valid for a single entry visa. The passport must be valid 6 months after the planned exit. It is also necessary to present proof of exit from the country (return air ticket).
In the case of dual entry into Vietnam, travelers receive only one exemption and not two. It is advisable to use this exemption for the 1st entry then to use a single entry visa for the 2nd entry. In case of multiple entries, a multiple entry visa is required.
