Phu Quoc Island is an ideal choice for travel and long-term relaxation, with a complete visa exemption policy for international visitors, a temporary stay of up to 30 days, rich nature, and impressive architecture.
1. 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 in 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 (including air and sea), stay in the transit area at that border gate, and then transfer to Phu Quoc island to be exempt from visas following this regulation.
Phu Quoc has its 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, is a separate space, has definite geographical boundaries, is separate from the mainland and is consistent with the socio-economic development policy that does not jeopardise Vietnam’s national defense, security, social order, and safety.
Transportation to Phu Quoc, which is an isolated island located in the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest of Vietnam, is very convenient with air, sea, and land routes. Tourists visiting the island can enter and exit through three international border gates including Phu Quoc International Airport Border Gate, Ha Tien International Border Gate, and Duong Dong Port International Border Gate, Phu Quoc.
2. Attractive nature, with many impressive architectural works
Phu Quoc is a favourite destination for tourists all over the world.
Tourists visiting the pearl island will enjoy the fresh air with warm sunshine all year round and explore the rich and dreamlike island paradise.
These are the beaches listed as the “most beautiful on the planet,” with fine white sand and limpid water to the bottom, such as Bai Kem and Bai Sao; small islands of An Thoi archipelago such as Hon Thom, Hon May Rut, Hon Mong Tay and Hon Dam Ngang with pristine beauty, diverse marine – forest ecosystems, colourful coral reefs or amazing rocky cliffs.
There are also romantic sunsets when the sun dyes the ocean red on the island’s southwest coast, or the end point of Ong Doi Cape – a “one-of-a-kind” place where tourists can watch the sunset and sunrise at the same place.
Besides freely exploring the sea and islands with many appealing activities such as swimming, kayaking, diving and seeing coral, canoeing around the islands, and night squid fishing, tourists visiting Phu Quoc can also discover the unique indigenous culture, the world of local products, rich and fresh cuisine such as pepper, seafood, Phu Quoc fish sauce; and visiting many historical sites such as Phu Quoc Prison, and Dinh Cau tourist attraction.
In 2022, Phu Quoc was named “the world’s most attractive natural island” at the World Travel Awards ceremony, surpassing six destinations from other continents, including many islands that were once known as paradises like Zanzibar of Tanzania or Lofoten of Norway.
In addition, Phu Quoc also gathers world-class works honouring architectural art and culture, such as Sunset Town, Asia’s largest show of multimedia technology on water – Kiss The Stars, Sun Signature Gallery architectural art “museum”, luxury resorts with impressive architecture such as JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort, New World Phu Quoc Resort, Premier Village Phu Quoc Resort, or Sun World Phu Quoc beach entertainment complex with the world’s longest cable car.
All of these works blend the quintessence of human architecture with indigenous culture, and they have been constructed in harmony with the nature of Phu Quoc.
Tourists visiting Sunset Town in the South of the island will be able to see with their own eyes and check-in at the Kiss Bridge in the middle of the ocean. With unique architecture created by the collaboration between Sun Group and famous architect Marco Casamonti, honouring the value of love and friendship, Kiss Bridge is a symbolic work for limitless connection. It will soon be included in the world’s most famous bridges list.
