Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia to ease visa rules for Chinese
Three of China’s neighbors in Southeast Asia are further easing their visa regimes to attract more Chinese tourists.
Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance announced move to lower Chinese visitors’ visa-application fees in a new step to boost its tourism. Starting from 23 November, Chinese tourists’ visa fees would be adjusted to $25 from $45 for a single entry and $50 from $95 for multiple entries within three months.
Direct flights between the two countries will also be increased. A direct flight from Shanghai to NhaTrang, a new popular travel destination, is planned to be launched at the beginning of 2016. It will only take about four hours to fly to NhaTrang from Shanghai.
