Important Vietnam Visa Regulation Notice

Vietnam Visa Regulations

At Hanoi Local Tour, we take pride in connecting travelers from all over the world with the unforgettable experiences Vietnam has to offer. However, as part of our commitment to transparency and reliable travel support, we wish to inform our valued guests of an important Vietnam visa policy update. Due to recent changes in immigration regulations, certain restrictions have been introduced that may affect the visa eligibility of travelers from specific countries. We believe it is our responsibility to keep you fully informed so you can plan your journey with confidence and clarity.

Current Vietnam Visa Restrictions: Who Is Affected?

As per the latest directive from Vietnam’s Immigration Department, visa applications from certain countries are temporarily not being processed. At this time, we are unable to support visa services for passport holders from the following countries:

  • Nigeria

  • Congo

  • Bangladesh

  • Syria

  • Afghanistan

  • Iran

  • Iraq

  • Pakistan

  • Ghana

  • Cameroon

This suspension applies to all types of visas, including:

  • Tourist visas

  • Business visas

  • Group and individual applications

We understand that this may be disappointing, and we truly appreciate your patience during this time.

These visa restrictions are part of Vietnam’s ongoing efforts to manage immigration effectively and ensure national security. While no specific end date has been provided, this measure is expected to be temporary and is subject to government review.

At Hanoi Local Tour, we strictly follow all official guidelines and only provide services in compliance with Vietnam’s legal framework.

What You Should Do If You Are Affected By Vietnam Visa Restrictions

If you are a citizen of one of the countries listed above:

  • Please do not submit a visa request at this time.

  • Stay connected with us to receive updates when the situation changes.

  • Reach out to our customer service team if you need support or further clarification.

We regret any inconvenience this may cause and assure you that we will resume services as soon as policies allow.’

At this point, there is no confirmed date for when visa services will reopen for the affected countries. However, we are closely monitoring announcements from Vietnam’s immigration authorities and will update our website regularly, notify subscribers via email and resume support immediately once restrictions are lifted. We highly recommend subscribing to our travel update newsletter so you don’t miss any changes.
