After more than 2 years of continuously implementing policies to tighten entry and restrict travel to prevent Covid-19, many countries around the world have begun to reopen the borders, including Vietnam. Vietnamese government has issued new regulations on reopening the tourism industry and welcoming international visitors back from March 2022.
