Vietnam’s new visa exemption policy, effective March 2025, allows citizens from 15 countries– including the UK, Germany, France, Japan, South Korea, and select Central European nations – to enter visa-free for up to 45 days. This significant easing of entry requirements directly benefits those coordinating long-haul golf travel from Europe and Northeast Asia.
The extended 45-day stay supports flexible, longer itineraries that combine golf with leisure and cultural exploration. It also simplifies planning and reduces upfront costs, removing the need for visa processing for a wide range of high-value travelers.
With easier access from key outbound markets, there’s greater potential to package Vietnam as both a standalone golf destination and part of wider Southeast Asia tours. Regions like Danang, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City become more competitive when targeting clients from visa-exempt countries.
