Government to scrap visa's for overseas VN and foreign spouse/kids

Some other nationals may also now enter VN without a visa for 15 days. That isn't any use to married, long term residents like me who have been here for 13 years.  Where are the full details of this proposal?

Hmm.. Let's wait and see

Great news for Viet Kieu.
Fantastic.

Please share with your Vietnamese and Viet Kieu friends .
" foreign spouse/kids" pertains only to those of Vietnamese origin.(please read the whole news report)

Your post isn't relevant here.

#4 - I have read the whole report and disagree with you.

My daughter and I are foreign child and husband of a Vietnamese woman, so the proposal would appear to relate to our situation and to that of many other foreign spouses and children in Vietnam. The proposal is relevant, as is my post.

Whaaaaaa? of course it's relevant here and categorized under "visa's". You may have mis-read the article. And this forum is very relevant for VN and their foreign born children who may be contemplating a return and not only non-VN living here IMHO.

So they scrap the Visa Exemption certificate and now contemplating making it visa free? How will they get their tea money? Something is missing it can't be this good to be true.

" The foreign wife, husband or children of Vietnamese who reside in other countries, or of Vietnamese nationals who live in Vietnam, will also be eligible for the visa waiver, the deputy premier said."
We will still need to have a Visa to reside in VN????  This is only talking about returning to VN, there has to be more to this. But if you are married to a VN and reside in VN, you are already entitled to a 3 yr TRC. ( after obtaining a 12 month TT Visa ).
⦁    TT visa is issued to a foreigner who is spouse or under 18-year old child of a foreigner who has been granted LV1/ LV2/ ĐT/ NN1/ NN2/ DH/ PV1/ LĐ visa  or to a foreigner who is father/mother, spouse or child of a Vietnamese citizen.

Accordingly, foreigners issued TT visa (including: foreigners are parents, spouse, and children under 18 years of age of the foreigners issued with LV1, LV2, ĐT, NN1, NN2, UNIVERSITY, PV1, LĐ visas, or foreigners that are parents, spouse, and children of Vietnamese citizens) are considering issuing Vietnam Temporary Residence Card. This article is expanded for foreigners that are parents, spouse, and children of Vietnamese citizens.

3. The duration of a NN1, NN2, TT temporary residence card shall not exceed 03 years.

The article was dated 30/7/15,  so has anything happened yet?

The way I read the quote you have pasted is that you will be eligible for the same visa waiver. The article used the words "scrap visa" so I interpret that as meaning those eligible won,t need one, but we,ll have to wait until something actually happens to see one way or the other. Until then it,s all just conjecture.
