Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m an American citizen, I would like to go to Phu Quoc island directly from China, so do I need a visa to go to Phu Quoc island?
Thank you very much for your help.
Thank you for contacting us. We are a travel agency based in Vietnam.
In case Phu Quoc is your first destination in Vietnam, you are eligible for a 30-day Vietnam visa exemption on Phu Quoc no matter you are a foreigner or a Vietnamese holding foreign passport. In simple words, all visitors from foreign countries do not need a Vietnam visa if they stay in Phu Quoc for no more than 30 days.
Requirements for Phu Quoc Visa Exemption
To enter Phu Quoc Island with no visa, visitors must meet the requirements below:
- Your passport must be valid for 6 months since your arrival date or else you should renew it prior to taking the trip to Phu Quoc.
- You must fly from an international country to Phu Quoc via the Phu Quoc International Airport. This applies to direct, indirect and layover flights, where your final destination along the route is Phu Quoc Island. The onward destination could be any country, except Vietnam.
- Your stay on the island must be less than 30 days. You must provide proof (return airplane ticket, cruise ship departure date, etc.) that you will be leaving Phu Quoc Island within 30 days in order to be granted a “Visa Exemption Stamp”.
- You have not been extradited from Vietnam in the past.
- You are not on the wanted person list of Interpol.
- You travel to Phu Quoc Island by sea (ship or cruise) or by air (airplane), not by land border.
Should you have any further questions, feel free to let me know.
