In 2024, Vietnam’s international visitor arrivals reached
98%
of the 2019 level, according to tourism-authority figures citing ASEAN data. The reported comparison placed Vietnam ahead of Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines in recovery against that baseline.
Vietnam welcomed
17.6 million foreign visitors
in 2024, an increase of
39.5% increase
on 2023 and close to the 2019 total of 18 million.
The report linked the recovery in part to easier travel access and changes to visa arrangements introduced in 2023. This article records the 2024 results; it is not a guide to current entry rules. Check Vietnam’s official immigration and e-visa information before travelling.
