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...

The programme, performed by nearly 100 actors, actresses and singers from Dien Bien province, consisted of two parts: Glorious memories and Dien Bien in new day with unforgettable songs such as “Ho keo phao” (Artillery pulling chant), “Qua mien Tay Bac” (Through the West region), “Tren doi Him Lam” (On Him Lam Hill), “Giai phong Dien Bien” (Liberation of Dien Bien), among others. The event featured the stature of the 1954 Dien Bien Phu Victory. The victory is the result of many factors, with the decisive one being the Party’s comprehensive resistance policy that covers all aspects of military, politics, economy, trade, culture, education and diplomacy, creating a synergy strength to defeat the enemy and make a victory that “resounded throughout the five continents and was world-shaking.” The second part showed Dien Bien in the period of integration and development. The old battlefield is now a young and dynamic city. The art show brought viewers meaningful moments. This was al...

The performance put on by two Japanese artists Ogasawara Tadashi and Ogasawara Hiroaki is expected to enthrall audiences through a display of interesting plays. Visitors will also have the chance to enjoy an exhibition held at the Temple of Literature, displaying 20 Nohgaku masks created by Japanese craftsman Ogasawara Tadashi. Participants will also be able to hold exchanges with Tadashi to gain a better understanding about the traditional Japanese art. Kyogen is a form of comedy that mainly describes the daily life of ordinary people in the middle ages. Unlike Noh, most of the plays are performed without masks, with a universal humanity being depicted through laughter. The event is part of activities to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Vietnam-Japan diplomatic relations this year. A link for ticket registration will be updated on the website of the Embassy of Japan in Vietnam on May 4. The post Japanese comedic stage art introduced at Temple of Literature appeared firs...
