Vietnam Visa for UK – British citizens

A Detailed Guide about Vietnam Tourist and Business Visa for UK citizens!

Do UK citizens need a visa to Vietnam?

From March 15, 2022, the Vietnam Government has reintroduced the Vietnam visa waiver program for citizens of 13 countries, including the UK. Accordingly, UK passport holders DON’T need a visa for Vietnam for up-to-15-days stays in the country.

The table below shows a summary of the current Vietnam visa requirements for UK citizens:

 

Type of visa Up to 45 days Over 45 days
Tourist visa Not required Required
Business visa Not required Required

 

Note:

  • This Vietnam visa waiver program does not work for holders of British National Overseas passports.
  • The requirement on the 30-day interval between the stays with visa waivers has been removed. It means that UK citizens can enter Vietnam visa-free for every trip of no more than 15 days
