ASTANA – Visa-free travel agreements are being signed daily between different nations as governments look forward to attracting tourists to spur the economy.
Two more countries have signed an agreement on a visa-free regime to increase people-to-people contact and cement ties.
In this regard, citizens of Kazakhstan and Vietnam will be able to travel visa-free to each other’s countries soon.
Aibek Smadiyarov, the Kazakh Foreign Ministry’s Spokesperson, confirmed the development during his weekly briefing that the visa-free agreement will come into force on May 25th.
The relevant agreement between the two countries was signed in August last year in Hanoi and the implementation starts this month as the formalities have been finalized.
“Citizens of the two nations – holders of national passports – are exempt from the need for a visa under the agreement. Moreover, tourists are permitted to stay in the country for 30 calendar days from the date of entry, for a total of 90 calendar days every six months,” said Smadiyarov.
