Hong Kong's visa approval for Vietnamese tourists surges

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.
