Does Belgium citizens need visa for entering Vietnam or not?

Yes, citizens of Belgium need to have a valid visa for making trips to Vietnam. The two nations have great democratic bonds but so far, the nations have not entered into any reciprocal agreements with respect to their visa policies. Hence, Belgium citizens need to obtain a visa for entry into Vietnam even for the shortest duration and vice versa. Although, keeping in mind the democratic relations, Vietnam has still given certain exemptions to the Belgium citizens that are as follows :-

1) All the Belgium citizens who are in possession of a diplomatic or official passport are entitled to avail an exemption of a maximum period of 90 days. If the official wants to extend the stay, then he would need a valid visa.

2) Any Belgium citizen who is a spouse or a child to a Vietnamese citizen, then he or she can apply for a visa exemption. After completing all the documentation successfully, the citizen can avail an exemption for as long as 5 years.
