Vietnam has announced a major expansion of the network of border checkpoints authorized to welcome travelers holding an electronic visa, bringing the total number of international access points to 83.
The decision, made official through Resolution No. 389/NQ-CP published on December 2, 2025, aims to facilitate the entry of foreign visitors and support the country’s national tourism-opening strategy.
In its resolution, the Vietnamese government decided to add 41 new international checkpoints to the list of locations allowing entry to—and exit from—the country upon presentation of an electronic visa (e-Visa).
This measure expands the system implemented since 2023 and seeks to improve the country’s accessibility, particularly through new airports, strategic land crossings along the borders with China, Laos, and Cambodia, as well as a significant number of seaports.
