Vietnam has extended visa-free entry for German citizens until 2028, which now also applies to passengers from Poland, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland. Vietnam Airlines underscores the significance of this decision, as it continues to be the only airline offering non-stop flights between Germany and Vietnam.

Extended visa regulations

Vietnam‘s new visa-free entry policy allows German citizens and citizens of 14 other countries, including Poland, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland, to stay for up to 45 days. This policy, which is valid until March 14, 2028, covers a total of 15 countries, including Denmark, France, Japan, and Spain, significantly expanding travel options in Asia.

Vietnam Airlines strengthens connections

As the only airline with non-stop connections between Germany and Vietnam, Vietnam Airlines offers daily flights from Frankfurt to Hanoi and five weekly flights to Ho Chi Minh City. In addition, direct flights from Munich to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City were introduced in October 2024, operating twice weekly with the Boeing 787-9.

Expansion of flight frequencies

Starting in July 2025, Vietnam Airlines will increase the number of weekly flights from Munich to Hanoi to three flights per week. This measure is intended to meet the demand for direct flights between Germany and Vietnam while also offering more travelers opportunities to explore the diverse destinations within Vietnam and beyond.

Transfer connections open up opportunities

Passengers traveling to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City will have the opportunity to benefit from a variety of connecting flights within Vietnam, as well as to Asia and Australia. This expansion of the route network allows travelers to explore the cultural diversity and scenic beauty of Southeast Asia and beyond.

Vietnam Airlines, the leading national carrier, is known for its high-quality services and routes that connect travelers efficiently and comfortably. With award-winning safety and service standards, it offers innovative solutions to meet the needs of the modern travel world. As the market leader in Asia’s aviation segment, it welcomes visa-free travel, which further promotes tourism.
