HCM City allowed to welcome fully vaccinated foreign travelers

The government has allowed Ho Chi Minh City to welcome back foreign tourists from this month under a vaccine passport trial program.

Under the trial program, international tourists need satisfy a number of requirements. Among others, they must be fully vaccinated or have recovered from Covid-19, and tested negative for it within 72 hours before departure.

They can only enter the country on a package tour with a designated travel agency and with medical or travel insurance, including coverage for Covid-19 treatment worth at least 50,000 USD./.
