Do I need a visa to go to Halong Bay in Vietnam?

Not necessarily. According to the bilateral agreement signed or reached between Vietnam and China, people who meet certain conditions in China can go to Vietnam without a visa.

According to the mutual visa-free agreement between China and Vietnam on March 1992, Vietnamese citizens with valid ordinary passports for diplomatic, official and business purposes and their accompanying persons who use the same passport are exempt from visas when entering, leaving or transiting Vietnam. The stay period is 30 days. If it is necessary to extend the stay, an application must be made by the Vietnamese reception unit and handled at the Exit-Entry Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam.

China citizens who enter, leave or transit Vietnam with valid ordinary passports must apply for a visa in advance, or apply for approval at the airport and get a visa on arrival.

Requirements for visa materials

1, the passport is valid for at least half a year; Passports have at least two blank pages for visas. The last page of the passport needs the applicant's autograph, and the old passport does not need to be provided.

2. Two one-inch (3.5cm*4.5cm) photos with white background, blue background or red background within half a year.
