Visas waived for Vietnamese expatriates

Vietnamese expatriates, their spouses and children are able to enter Vietnam without visas as stipulated in a decree recently issued by the government.

Visa exemption papers, valid for a maximum of five years, will be attached into or issued separately from the passports, Decree 82/2015/ND-CP said. 
According to the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs, more than 4.5 million Vietnamese are working and living in 103 countries and territories worldwide.
