Recently, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Viet Nam proposed amendments and additions to several articles of the Law on the Entry and Exit of Vietnamese Citizens and the Law on the Entry, Exit, Transit and Stay of Foreigners in Viet Nam.
Vietnam's foreign minister announced plans to abolish the law that "guarantees must be provided to apply for tourist and business visas".
I believe that many business owners who have economic exchanges with Vietnam are happy to compatriots who often go to Vietnam, but don't be happy too early, now Vietnam has strictly checked Chinese tourist visa.
Vietnam's visa policy, it seems that the back is accompanied by parentheses (except for China), all kinds of tips, is simply a money grab.
Recently, according to the guests of the Vietnamese Chinese Home, they just checked into the Bac Ninh Hotel, and the next morning, their passports and visas were taken away by the Vietnamese police. The police asked them to provide a letter of approval for a tourist visa in order to get it back, and the Vietnamese police returned the passport, but still withheld the visa. Moreover, the guest said that he had just checked into the hotel and had not engaged in other work or business at all.
Bac Ninh, Vietnam, is not a tourist city, and if you tell the police that you are here to do something, you will be fined a lot of money. This defines the visa held as incompatible with the purpose of entry.
In the end, the hotel gave 40 million dong (about 12,000 yuan), and the guest went to sign a letter and got the visa back.
Another group of guests also said that their tourist visas were found out and they did not pay the money, but the hotel paid 20 million dong (about 6,000 yuan) to get their visas back.
On May 28, some guests broke the news again that Vietnamese tourist visas were checked at Vietnam Friendship Port, and finally gave a tip of 500,000 VND (about 150 yuan) before customs clearance was allowed.
After the guest enters the Vietnam customs with a tourist visa, the Vietnamese border control officer requires a tour guide to go together. In fact, this request is unreasonable, but it sounds reasonable.
For so many years, I have never heard of Vietnamese public security or Vietnamese border inspection at ports of entry to check tourist visa approvals.
Therefore, they asked to see the approval, which is just an excuse, just to make money.
If we give approval, they will continue to demand that a Vietnamese guide be present, and come to travel without a guide, which does not sound like a regular tour, but it seems to be right. But even if a guide comes, Vietnamese border inspectors can continue to make things difficult, and must ask for a tour itinerary. After all, the travel agency came forward to guarantee the tourist visa applied for, which contains a travel itinerary.
For example, the itinerary applied for is: Mong Cai - Halong Bay - Hanoi - Nha Trang. But you actually show up in Bac Ninh, Bac Giang and other places that do not have tourist attractions, or appear in places that are not planned tourist attractions, so even if you violate the law, they can punish both Chinese tourists and Vietnamese travel agencies with guarantees.
In short, there are so many reasons to make money.
How do you play like this later?
Recently, Vietnam also issued news that it would cancel visa sponsorship, and while saying that visas would be released, it asked for tips in disguise.
This is the real situation of the current Chinese tourist visa, even if Vietnam cancels the regulations on providing guarantees to apply for tourist visas and business visas on June 24, it is unknown what will be the means of making it difficult for Chinese visas and tipping in disguise.
