For the foreseeable future, travel restrictions will remain and the border of Vietnam will closed. Getting into Vietnam these days is difficult, but not impossible. Since the curfew in The Netherlands is in effect, the travel restrictions for travels to The Netherlands are also very strict.

During our webinar we will discuss these types of questions:

➡️  How to return to The Netherlands for emergency visits?
➡️  How do I travel back and forth from Vietnam to The Netherlands?
➡️  How do I get into Vietnam for an essential business trip?
