As we know, the Wuhan virus corona had a big impact on people life, especially on tourism. Not only China, the neighboring countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, etc. and the SAR like Hong Kong, Macao are also influenced by this bad situation. Due to the virus problem, Vietnam is temporarily stopped to issue business visa for Hong Kong and Macao citizens after Tet holidays. Businessmen from Hong Kong and Macao have no ways to apply business visa to Vietnam.

Luckily, Wuhan coronavirus is controlled well in Vietnam, as well as Hong Kong and Macao now. That is the reason why Vietnam Immigration decided to issue business visa for Hong Kong and Macao passport holders again. According to Vietnam Immigration announcement, Hong Kong and Macao citizens, who have not traveled to China within the last 14 days, and having a round-trip air ticket not from/to China, can apply Vietnam visa. The visa application can be submitted on https://www.vietnamimmigration.com/apply-vietnam-visa/ , it will be reviewed and approved in 5 working days. In case of rush, the applicants can also request the “express service” to process it faster.

Vietnam business visa is use for those who come to Vietnam for working purpose, for example finding the market, singing the contract, attending the conference/ seminar, working with Vietnamese partners, etc. Hong Kong and Macao businessmen can apply it online again and coming to Vietnam for business purpose now.
