Reported on October 16, 2026, Vietnam will pilot a visa exemption from the 12th of this month until the end of 2027 for Chinese citizens traveling to Khanh Hoa in groups of at least two people, with a stay of no more than 30 days. Tourists must fly directly from mainland China to Khanh Hoa's Cam Ranh International Airport and book package tour products organized by Vietnamese international travel agencies; the policy applies to holders of valid ordinary Chinese passports and does not include persons holding passports issued by China's Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions. The policy is one of the measures under the framework of the 2026-2027 "China-Vietnam Tourism Cooperation Year."
