Starting August 15, these cards will allow multiple entries into the country for up to five years without the need to reapply for a visa each time.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">The policy, announced through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/your-ultimate-7-day-guide-to-vietnam-cities-cuisine-and-countryside-charm-9200869.html\">Vietnam<\/a> Briefing, is designed to bring in high-profile individuals who can make meaningful contributions to the nation\u2019s socio-economic growth. This step is closely linked to Vietnam\u2019s larger goal of becoming a competitive, open, and globally connected hub, especially in line with its newly passed International Financial Centre (IFC) policies.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">By offering long-term visa exemptions, the government hopes to encourage innovation, investment, and collaboration across various sectors.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><strong>Who Can Apply?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">The visa exemption program targets influential figures from around the world. Eligible applicants include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li>Senior officials from foreign governments, parliaments, international organisations, and top judicial bodies.<\/li>\n<li>Renowned scientists, professors, and researchers from leading universities and research institutions.<\/li>\n<li>CEOs and executives from major global companies, particularly those with cultural influence or strong brand recognition.<\/li>\n<li>Investors, entrepreneurs, and high-level business leaders contributing to socio-economic development.<\/li>\n<li>Prominent personalities in culture, academia, or economics with a global impact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Applicants must hold a valid passport and be nominated by a recognised Vietnamese agency or organisation. Their work or presence in Vietnam should be able to make a significant contribution to the country\u2019s development.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><strong>Key Benefits for Cardholders<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">Those granted the new visa exemption cards will enjoy:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li>Multiple entries into Vietnam during the five-year validity period without reapplying for a visa.<\/li>\n<li>Both physical and digital card formats with equal legal status.<\/li>\n<li>Faster, more convenient entry processes, ideal for frequent travellers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">The physical cards will come with an embedded chip containing personal details such as the holder\u2019s name, passport number, and biometric data.<\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\">For foreign nationals already living in Vietnam, the card will be issued after biometric information is added to the National Immigration Database or once they obtain a Level 2 electronic ID account.<\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\"><strong>Strengthening Vietnam\u2019s Global Image<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"13\" class=\"story_para_13\">This initiative is part of Vietnam\u2019s wider efforts to modernise immigration and business policies, the publication states. By making it easier for global leaders, researchers, and investors to work and collaborate in the country, Vietnam is positioning itself as a key player in the international arena.<\/p>\n<p id=\"14\" class=\"story_para_14\">Officials believe the policy will not only boost the country\u2019s economy but also create valuable opportunities in research, culture, and business, further solidifying Vietnam\u2019s reputation as a destination for global talent.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-1327531677 artcta\">\n<div style=\"font-family:Inter;font-size:17px;line-height:29px\">\n<div style=\"font-family:Inter;font-size:17px;line-height:29px\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news18.co\/gnps-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to add News18 as your preferred news source on Google.
