On March 7, 2025, the Vietnamese government issued a resolution on visa exemptions for nationals from 12 countries. 

These countries are Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, Russia, Spain, South Korea, Sweden, and the UK. 

According to the resolution, the citizens of these countries will not require a visa for a temporary stay of 45 days from the date of entry, regardless of their passport type and the purpose of their visit. However, they will need to meet all the entry conditions set by the Vietnamese government.
