The Foreign Ministry is working with the Health Ministry and the Ministry of Information and Communications to build criteria, a mechanism to recognise and allow the use of vaccination certificates and vaccine passports of other countries, thus creating favourable conditions for people entering the country that suit the domestic situation and comply with Vietnamese and international laws, Hang said.

To make it easier to follow the Health Ministry’s guidelines, the Foreign Ministry in collaboration with the Health Ministry has issued temporary guidelines on checking and recognising foreigners’ COVID-19 vaccination and recovery certificates which are officially introduced to Viet Nam via diplomatic channels of 44 countries and territories.
