Vietnam visa requirements for citizens of the Russian Federation
- Last update: January 14, 2024
Russian Federation is INCLUDED in the Vietnam visa exemption list so you can enter Vietnam without a visa for stays of no more than 45 consecutive days. However, you need to meet the following requirements:
- Your passport must have a validity of at least 06 months beyond your date of arrival in Vietnam.

If you want to stay in Vietnam for longer, you can either:
