New regulations regarding vaccine passports
At the regular press conference on October 21, answering a question about the process of recognition and issuance of vaccination certificates or vaccine passports, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Le Thi Thu Hang said:
“According to the Resolution 128/NQCP of the Government dated October 1 on safety adaptation and effective control of the COVID-19 pandemic, Vietnam is temporarily recognizing the vaccination certificates or vaccine passports from 72 countries, territories. These certificates have been officially introduced by these countries and territories to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
Those who have these documents will be recognized in Vietnam and the quarantine will be reduced from more than 14 days to 7 days following the guidance of the Ministry of Health on shortening the quarantine for people who have been fully vaccinated or had recovered from COVID-19.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also discussing with nearly 80 countries and territories about mutual recognition of vaccination certificates or vaccine passports. Currently, vaccine certificates provided by Vietnam have been recognized by some countries,” said Ms. Le Thi Thu Hang.
Additionally, under the direction of the Prime Minister on creating more favorable conditions for workers, experts, investors, and some other specific subjects to serve development goals, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has consulted with ministries and localities on remaining problems and proposed competent authorities to adjust the approval procedures for foreigners to enter Vietnam.
The solution from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be in the direction of adding vaccine passports or vaccine certifications into the application component of the visa process, reducing application processing time, and further increasing decentralization for ministries and sectors.
