Authorities in Hong Kong have received 493 multiple-entry tourist visa applications as of February this year, with 490 of which having been approved.

In a policy report announced by Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee in October last year, Hong Kong relaxed visa rules for Vietnamese visiting to Hong Kong for tourism or business purposes with multiple-entry visa.

After the new visa policy was implemented, the average monthly approval of multiple-entry visas for Vietnamese nationals increased approximately six-fold compared to 2019.

Multiple-entry visas typically have a maximum validity period of two years, with each stay in Hong Kong not exceeding 14 days.
