Statement on November 12th 2019 by Ambassador Paul Jansen regarding the deaths of 39 people in the UK:
On behalf of the entire Embassy staff and the Belgian authorities, I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the families of the 39 innocent Vietnamese victims found dead in a truck in England.
According to the first elements of the investigation published in the press, it seems that the truck has passed through the Belgian port of Zeebrugge.
I cannot help but think that if the Belgian police had been properly informed, the truck could have been stopped and the lives of these unfortunate victims saved.
May this tragedy inspire us to further strengthen international cooperation to stop the activities of these criminal networks of human traffickers, so this never happens again!
Paul Jansen
Ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
UPDATED February 26th 2019: Belgians are from now on allowed to enter Vietnam with an e-visa.
Belgium was recently included in the list of countries whose nationals are now allowed to enter Vietnam on the basis of an e-visa. That decision was approved by the Vietnamese government in the form of a decree (No 17/2019 / NĐ-CP). Although it officially went into effect on 01/02/2019 (and runs until 01/02/2021), it was only implemented on 25/02/2019.
Visa applicants must register on the website https://evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn/ to fill in the required information. The payment of 25 USD has to be done online too. According to the information from that website, the application is processed within 3 working days. You must print the visa to enter Vietnam.
E-visas are limited to one entry and valid for a maximum duration of 30 days. The destination is not limited to tourism alone; Business people can also use it. Only visitors in the framework of an official visit, members of the diplomatic corps, their families and their guests, still have to follow the old process. The visa with a view to long stay must also be applied for via the traditional process.
For further questions we advise you to contact the Vietnamese authorities.
