As we know, Vietnam Government has temporarily stopped to grant Vietnam visa for Hong Kong and Macao passport holders from the end of January 2019. Because of the bad effect of Wuhan corona virus situation, Hong Kong and Macao passport holders are more difficult to apply Vietnam visa. But when the situation is well controlled, the visa policy for Hong Kong and Macao has been changed. Vietnam visa on arrival is available for Hong Kong and Macao people, which help them to get visa at Vietnam airports. And now, electronic visa is also re-opened for Hong Kong and Macao passport holders.

Many Hong Kong and Macao applicants asked us: “Whether Hong Kong and Macao passport holders can apply Vietnam electronic visa or not?” Or “How to get Vietnam visa for Hong Kong and Macao citizens?” Or “Are Hong Kong and Macao passport holders allowed to apply Vietnam visa and travel to this country?”. Today (February 17^th, 2020), we strongly confirm that Hong Kong and Macao passport holders can apply Vietnam visa online, for both visa on arrival and electronic visa.
