China, Vietnam mull construction of visa-free tourism zone

Posted by admin on March 28, 2011 under Vietnam Travel Info, Visa to Vietnam | Be the First to Comment

China and its neighbor Vietnam are considering building a visa-free tourism zone on the border of the two countries, tourism authorities said Wednesday.

The visa-free zone will include Dongxing City in southwest China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Mong Cai City in northern Vietnam, said Yu Xiaojun, deputy chief of the Guangxi’s tourism bureau.

Tourists, and their vehicles, from China and Vietnam will not be required to have a visa or permit to enter the zone, he said.

The two cities have already worked out a blueprint, currently awaiting both countries’ approval, Yu said, without giving a time frame.

Once given the go ahead, the project will take five to ten years to take shape, said Zhu Shengyong, Party chief of Dongxing City.

On Monday, Dongxing City completed the construction of the largest marketplace on the China-Vietnam border, which is located on the east bank of the Peilum River, facing Mong Cai.

The 51-hectare market, costing 2 billion yuan (305 million U.S. dollars), includes border trade wharfs, import and export facilities and various commodity markets.

In 2010, China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) established the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area, which eliminates tariffs on 90 percent of products traded between China and ASEAN member countries.

Tourists to see Southeast Asia on single visa

Posted by admin on March 24, 2011 under Vietnam Travel Info, Visa to Vietnam | Be the First to Comment

Travellers could soon be able surf in Bali, shop in Singapore and eat spicy street food in Thailand before crossing into Cambodia and cruising the Mekong in Vietnam – all on a single tourist visa.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is working on a plan that would open the region to foreign tourists in the same way Europe’s unified visa system has streamlined travel.

“You would just have to apply for one visa and you could then visit all the countries using that visa,” said Eddy Krisneidi, an official at the Jakarta-based ASEAN Secretariat, which recently released its Tourism Strategic Plan for the next five years.

With attractions ranging from jungle-covered temples at Angkor Wat in Cambodia to five-star beach resorts in Bali, Southeast Asia is a region that tempts travellers from all walks of life.

ASEAN countries recorded more than 65 million foreign visitor arrivals in 2009. Malaysia led the field, followed by Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Brunei.

Analysts say visitor numbers could be boosted by slashing the time-consuming and confusing visa requirements for each of ASEAN’s 10 countries, which range from vibrant developing democracies to isolated, military-dominated Myanmar.

While some allow foreigners to simply purchase visas on arrival, others require wads of paperwork, photos and up to a week to issue the required stamp. Further information about Vietnam visa on arrival, please kindly visit the website http://www.vietnam-visa.com/.

“One of the major concerns of the industry, as well as visitors, is the difficulty of obtaining visas, a series of widely differing regulations and information needs for visas,” ASEAN’s strategic plan states.

It is a view shared by Stuart McDonald, who runs an online travel forum for Southeast Asia.

“One of the most common questions that we see on travelfish.org is people asking visa questions: What kind of visa can I get? How long is it valid for? What does it cost?,” said the Australian who travels extensively in Asia.

“The rules change all the time and it introduces a level of uncertainty and confusion that the industry can do without.”

The concept of a single visa has wide support among tourism bodies across Southeast Asia.

“It would definitely benefit all the countries in this region, especially Thailand,” Tourism Authority of Thailand governor Suraphon Svetasreni said, noting that Thailand is a “good strategic location” for overland travelling as it acts as a bridge to other countries.

Svetasreni said it is only a matter of time until the region’s visa system is liberalised.

“ASEAN will be considered as a single destination, so it makes sense to apply for a single visa to travel to any country in ASEAN,” he said.

Despite its appeal, others are less optimistic that a single visa will become a reality anytime soon.

“Travel procedures have to be simplified but it is not going to be easy because each country may have their own foreign policy,” Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel inbound tourism vice president Arul Das said.

ASEAN is yet to outline the cost or length of stay for its planned single tourist visa. But it acknowledges it could take several years to introduce.

“The establishment of such a visa will not likely occur in the next five years due to barriers of technology, political issues, concerns of sovereignty and security and the different visa systems in the member states,” its strategic plan states.

The single visa is one of several initiatives being worked on by ASEAN to boost tourism in the region.

The organisation is also overseeing the creation of regional tourism standards which would apply to things such as accommodation, food and public toilets.

“There are already clear indications that major tour operators are now very much concerned with a wide range of standards in a destination,” the plan states.

“Those destinations that are able to satisfy those increasingly high standards will have a distinct position of advantage.”

    You need a visa to enter Vietnam before you travel to the country. It’s easy to organise a Vietnam visa in Bangkok if you know where to go.

    The first way is to go directly to the Vietnamese Embassy in Bangkok. Once inside, fill in one of the application forms and then submit it at the window along with the appropriate fee. It’s around 1000 Baht ($30 US) for a one entry visa – make sure you request a multiple entry visa if you intend to exit and re-enter Vietnam during your travels, otherwise you’ll have to apply for a second visa all over again. You need to submit the visa application between 8.30am to 11.30 am and 1.30pm to 4.30pm. You can collect it 3 days later or pay a little more and get express service to collect it the next day, but make sure you drop it early in the morning if you want to be sure of this. You can find more info on the quite helpful

    The second way is to order visa online. It will take you about  2 days to receive the approval letter from the Vietnam Immigration Department via e-mail after filling in the application form. All you have to do is to print it out and bring it to your Vietnam arrival airport to get  stampted. This way is rather popular now because of its convenience and cheap price.

    You can use either of these methods to ontain a visa to Vietnam. It is so easy.
