→ Netherlands visa for Vietnamese citizens
Dutch citizens can now enjoy an extended visa-free stay of up to 45 days when visiting Vietnam, a welcome change from previous limitations. This generous allowance allows ample time to explore diverse landscapes, from the bustling streets of Hanoi to the serene Mekong Delta, without needing to arrange a tourist visa, of which only two types are currently available for longer stays. When planning your journey, consider that flights from Amsterdam typically land in major hubs like Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) in Hanoi or Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) in Ho Chi Minh City, and while English is spoken in tourist areas, learning a few basic Vietnamese phrases like "Xin chào" (hello) will greatly enhance your interactions.
