From October 12, 2026, through December 31, 2027, Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports may enter Vietnam visa-free as part of organized groups of at least two people. The measure is limited to Khanh Hoa province, with entry and departure required through Cam Ranh Airport on direct flights from mainland China.
According to the source, this is a temporary and narrowly defined exception to Vietnam’s visa regime for organized tourism, not for relocation, employment or independent long-term residence. Eligibility depends on citizenship, participation in a group tour, the approved tour operator, the itinerary and use of Cam Ranh Airport. It primarily affects Chinese citizens planning short trips to Khanh Hoa through the end of 2027. People considering relocation should treat it as a limited entry-rule change rather than a route to long-term status.
