This is reported by the Vietnam News Agency (VNA), a partner of TV BRICS.
The draft policy, submitted by the Ministry would allow eligible individuals to stay in Vietnam for up to 90 days per entry, double the current maximum of 45 days, without the need for a visa.
According to the ministry, the exemption is intended for foreign experts and professionals invited by senior leaders of the state or the government.
It also targets chief executive officers, scientists, university professors, researchers, engineers, and highly skilled specialists in information technology.
The proposed measure is part of Vietnam’s broader strategy to attract top international talent in strategic sectors, including semiconductors, digital technology, science, and the creative industries.
Authorities view the policy as a way to foster innovation and accelerate national development by integrating high-level foreign expertise into key areas of the economy.
