The government approved a pilot visa exemption scheme for Chinese citizens traveling to Khánh Hoà Province in Vietnam. The program, which runs until December 31, 2027, requires eligible visitors to travel in groups of at least two on package tours organized by Vietnamese international travel companies. All visitors must fly directly from mainland China to Cam Ranh International Airport and use it for entry and exit.
