| Phu Quoc is one of the most popular tourism destinations in Vietnam. |
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has proposed opening Phu Quoc Island
to international visitors with vaccine passports after receiving consultations
from the Ministries of Health, Public Security, Foreign Affairs, National
Defence, Transport, and Information and Communications.
During the first phase of the pilot programme, which will last three months, Phu
Quoc will welcome 2,000 to 3,000 visitors per month via charter flights in a
limited number of locations.
The second phase, also lasting for three months, will host 5,000 to 10,000
visitors per month. Passengers will be picked up via commercial flights and
experience Phu Quoc on a larger scale.
The purpose of this programme is to gradually restore the international tourism
market and the tourism industry while promoting Vietnam as a safe and attractive
destination with effective pandemic prevention and control measures.
International visitors who want to visit Phu Quoc must have two doses of
a COVID-19 vaccine recognised by Vietnamese authorities. The second dose must be
injected at least 14 days and not more than 12 months from the entry time.

| Phu Quoc is home to many wonderful beaches. |
Visitors with a certificate showing COVID-19 recovery and who have been
discharged for not more than 12 months are also allowed to enter Phu Quoc.
All tourists before entering Vietnam must be tested negative for COVID-19 via
the PCR method.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Kien Giang provincial
People’s Committee will select appropriate service providers to host foreign
visitors.
Vietnam is expected to welcome visitors from markets with high tourism potential
and epidemic safety across regions such as Northeast Asia, Europe, the US and
the Middle East.
Visitors must enter Phu Quoc by air only. They will be taken to designated
accommodations and entertainment sites.
To ensure safety during the pilot period, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and
Tourism proposes vaccinating at least 70 percent of the population and workers
in Phu Quoc city between July and September this year.
At the end of June, the Prime Minister asked the Ministry of Culture, Sports and
Tourism and Kien Giang province to develop a tourism pilot programme to welcome
international visitors to designated areas in the province./.
