Luxembourg Citizens Can Now Visit Vietnam Visa-Free for 45 Days

Starting August 15, 2025, citizens of Luxembourg will be able to visit Vietnam visa-free for up to 45 days, thanks to a new policy aimed at boosting tourism and cultural exchange. The exemption will remain in effect until August 14, 2028, under Resolution No. 229/NQ-CP, issued by the Vietnamese government on August 8, 2025.

What the New Rule Means for Luxembourg Travelers

Under the new arrangement, Luxembourgers can enter Vietnam without applying for a visa in advance, whether holding an ordinary, diplomatic, or service passport. The 45-day limit applies to tourism stays and is designed to encourage longer visits and deeper engagement with Vietnam’s culture, heritage, and landscapes.

Part of a Broader Tourism Push

The policy is part of Vietnam’s strategy to attract more visitors from Europe and beyond. Alongside Luxembourg, 11 other European countries are included in the new visa-free program. Vietnam’s tourism industry has already seen significant growth in 2025, with over 12 million international visitors in the first seven months—a 22.5% increase compared to last year.

A Win for Travel Enthusiasts

For Luxembourg residents, the change means simpler planning and reduced travel costs, opening the door to explore destinations such as Hạ Long Bay, Hội An, and Hồ Chí Minh City without visa constraints. Travel agencies expect the move to boost demand for Southeast Asian packages from Luxembourg.
