Anyone have any further info on this upcoming tourist visa change? by qnbui
From what I've read and heard, it affects tourist visas over 30 days and you have to get re-stamped every 30 days. Could drive away expats from VN like the Thai laws that are driving away expats in Thailand. Hopefully it doesn't affect most ...

30 day visa time frame. by Guest2023
What do you think the outcome will be if they introduce this 30-day maximum limit for visas. I can see a big exodus of expats who are living here on tourist visas. I'm sure an internal visa process will be offered at a ridiculous price.
