Key Rules & Differences from the 45-Day Stamp
- Duration: Kazakhstan passport holders receive a 30-day stamp, not the unilateral 45-day stamp granted to Russian or European passport holders.
- Passport Validity: Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date.
- Return / Onward Ticket: Immigration officers may request proof of onward departure from Vietnam within the 30-day window.
- Number of Entries: The 30-day exemption applies upon each entry, whether arriving by air at international airports (Cam Ranh, Da Nang, Hanoi, Saigon, Phu Quoc) or via official land checkpoints.
