Favorable visa policy
Phu Quoc is currently the destination in Vietnam that enjoys the most favorable visa policy.
According to current legal regulations, from July 1, 2020, foreign passport holders traveling to Phu Quoc Island will be entitled to a visa-free stay period of no more than 30 days.
Foreigners entering Vietnam through any international border gate of Vietnam and then moving to Phu Quoc Island are exempted from visa requirements following this regulation.

Phu Quoc is entitled to this visa policy because it is the only island that meets four conditions for visa exemption for foreigners under Vietnamese law. It has an international airport, is an independent space, has defined geographical boundaries, is separated from the mainland, and is consistent with the policy of socio-economic development that does not pose a threat to national defense, security, social order and safety of Việt Nam.
As an isolated island in the Gulf of Thailand, southwest of Việt Nam, Phu Quoc is conveniently accessible by air, sea and land. Tourists visiting this island can enter and exit through three international border posts: Phu Quoc International Airport Border Post, Ha Tien International Border Post and Duong Dong Port International Border Post, Phu Quoc.

In particular, tourists who have purchased tickets for Sun World Phu Quoc will receive free bus tickets for the Duong Dong – An Thoi route.
