Phu Quoc Island is an ideal choice for travel and long-term relaxation, with a complete visa exemption policy for international visitors, a temporary stay of up to 30 days, a populous and rich nature, and impressive architecture.
Phu Quoc is famous for its beautiful and dreamlike beaches.
Superior visa policy
Phu Quoc is currently the only destination in Vietnam with a unique visa policy.
According to current legal regulations, from July 1, 2020, foreigners and Vietnamese holding foreign passports entering, exiting, and residing on Phu Quoc island are exempt from visas with a temporary stay period of no more than 30 days.
Foreigners can enter an international border gate of Vietnam, stay in the transit area at that border gate, and then transfer to Phu Quoc island to be exempt from visas following the regulations.
Phu Quoc has its special visa policy because it is the only island that meets four conditions of visa exemption for foreigners under Vietnamese law. It has an international airport, a separate space, and definite geographical boundaries separate from the mainland. In addition, it matches the socio-economic development policy that does not jeopardise Vietnam’s national defense, security, social order, and safety.
As an isolated island located in the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest of Vietnam, the means of transportation to Phu Quoc are very convenient with air, sea, and land routes. Tourists visiting this island can enter and exit through three international border gates including Phu Quoc International Airport Border Gate, Ha Tien International Border Gate, and Duong Dong Port International Border Gate.
Hon Thom cable car, the longest of its kind in the world, is in the South of Phu Quoc island.
Currently, many international airlines from India, the Republic of Korea, Thailand, and Malaysia run multiple daily flights to/from Phu Quoc. Other countries continue to research and open flight routes to the island. Transportation on the island is also extremely convenient. Tourists can easily travel by a taxi or a bus, with the Duong Dong - An Thoi bus route as a case in point. In particular, tourists who have purchased tickets to Sun World Phu Quoc will enjoy free travel on the Duong Dong - An Thoi route.
