Since August 15, 2025, certain categories of foreign nationals may receive visa waivers for diplomatic and socio-economic purposes. Eligible groups include invited experts, scientists, high-quality digital-technology workers, investors, and others sponsored by a competent organization; approved applicants receive a multiple-entry Special Visa Waiver Card valid for up to five years.
According to the source, the special visa-waiver regime is not general; it targets foreigners invited by a competent Vietnamese organization or authority. It may significantly simplify repeated entry for qualified professionals, investors, scientists, and other listed categories because the card allows multiple entry and can be valid for up to five years. It is not a universal substitute for a visa for ordinary tourists or independent movers. The measure is worth checking for applicants who already have the required invitation and a qualifying professional or investment profile.
