Phu Quoc Island: 30-day visa-free for ALL nationalities

Phu Quoc maintains its special status: all nationalities get 30 days visa-free when arriving directly to the island — no e-Visa needed.

This applies only to direct flights to Phu Quoc International Airport (PQC). If you enter Vietnam mainland first and then travel to Phu Quoc, normal visa rules apply. The 30-day stay is for Phu Quoc only — you cannot use this exemption to then travel to mainland Vietnam without a proper visa. Many travelers use this for island-only holidays. Extension is not possible under this exemption.
