Hanoi (VNA) - Phu Quoc Island is an ideal choice for travel and long-term relaxation, with a complete visa exemption policy for international visitors, a temporary stay of up to 30 days, rich nature, and impressive architecture.
Superior visa policy
Phu Quoc is currently the only destination in Vietnam with a unique visa policy.
According to current legal regulations, from July 1, 2020, foreigners and Vietnamese holding foreign passports entering, exiting, and residing in Phu Quoc island are exempt from visas with a temporary stay period of no more than 30 days.
Foreigners can enter an international border gate of Vietnam (including air and sea), stay in the transit area at that border gate, and then transfer to Phu Quoc island to be exempt from visas following this regulation.
Phu Quoc is famous for its beautiful and dreamlike beaches.
Phu Quoc has its visa policy because it is the only island that meets four conditions of visa exemption for foreigners under Vietnamese law. It has an international airport, is a separate space, has definite geographical boundaries, is separate from the mainland and is consistent with the socio-economic development policy that does not jeopardise Vietnam's national defense, security, social order, and safety.
Transportation to Phu Quoc, which is an isolated island located in the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest of Vietnam, is very convenient with air, sea, and land routes. Tourists visiting the island can enter and exit through three international border gates including Phu Quoc International Airport Border Gate, Ha Tien International Border Gate, and Duong Dong Port International Border Gate, Phu Quoc.
Hon Thom, the world's longest cable car, is in the South of Phu Quoc island.
Currently, there are many international routes with multiple daily flights connecting Phu Quoc with other countries including India, the Republic of Korea, Thailand, and Malaysia. Many other countries continue to research and open flight routes to Phu Quoc. Transportation on the island is also extremely convenient. Tourists can easily travel by taxi and bus. In particular, tourists who have purchased tickets to Sun World Phu Quoc will receive free bus tickets for Duong Dong - An Thoi route.
Attractive nature, with many impressive architectural works
