Đặc biệt, tập trung vào việc giảm lãi suất cho vay, bao gồm cả việc giảm lãi suất đối với khoản nợ hiện có và các khoản vay mới.

Theo hướng dẫn cụ thể, mục tiêu của việc giảm lãi suất là từ 1,5-2%/năm, với mục tiêu hỗ trợ doanh nghiệp và người dân trong việc phục hồi và thúc đẩy hoạt động sản xuất và kinh doanh.

Hơn nữa, Ngân hàng Nhà nước cũng đã yêu cầu các tổ chức tín dụng thể hiện cam kết về việc giảm lãi suất cho vay trong năm 2023.

Đồng thời, lãi suất huy động trên thị trường cũng đã được điều chỉnh xuống, với nhiều ngân hàng đã niêm yết mức lãi suất dưới 7% từ ngày 15-8. Mức lãi suất phổ biến cho kỳ hạn 12 tháng tại một số ngân hàng lớn đã giảm xuống còn dưới 6,2-6,3%/năm.

TPB: Bad debts form quickly, affecting the bank’s reserve buffer

Advertisements

Established in 2008, Tien Phong Commercial Joint Stock Bank (HoSE: TPB) is the second smallest bank in our asset tracking list and the smallest in terms of network as of December 31, 2022. TPB focuses on developing digital banking. The bank was listed on HOSE on April 19, 2018.

According to the latest analysis report, Viet Capital Securities Company (VCSC) has lowered its target price for TPB by an additional 4.4% to VND 21,500/share and adjusted its recommendation from BUY to OPTIMISTIC as the bank’s stock price has increased by 37.6% since the beginning of the year. The lower target price is mainly due to our reduced forecast for net profit after tax (NPAT) for the period 2023-2027 by an additional 8.7% (-6.2%/-8.1%/-10.4%/-9.6%/-8.2% for years 2023/24/25/26/27).

VCSC forecasts that TPB’s net income in 2023 will reach VND 6.5 trillion (+3.1% YoY), which is lower than our previous forecast by 6.2% due to (1) a 4.7% decrease in net interest income (NII) after a 13 basis point decline in net interest margin (NIM) and (2) a 17.2% decrease in non-interest income (NOII) due to inefficient operations of bancassurance and securities investment businesses, partially offset by (1) a 2.7% decrease in operating expenses (OPEX) and (2) a 32.5% decrease in provisioning expenses.

VCSC maintains its P/B target of 1.10x to reflect our concerns about (1) TPB’s loan balance to real estate investment and construction companies increasing from 12.8% in Q2/2022 to 14.5% in Q2/2023 and (2) the bank’s reserve buffer and capital buffer being affected as TPB’s loan loss coverage ratio (LLR) and CAR in Q2/2023 reached only 60.9% and 11.1%, respectively, compared to levels of 135% and 12.5%, respectively, in Q4/2022.

Risks: NIM recovery weaker than expected; (2) restructured loans under Circular No.02/2023/TT-NHNN higher than expected; (3) slower-than-expected recovery of restructured loans.

VCSC also adjusted down its NIM forecast for TPB in 2023 and 2024 by 13 basis points and two basis points, respectively, as TPB’s H1/2023 NIM decreased more sharply than expected.

Ben Thanh metro station is 99% complete

Ben Thanh station is the major and largest station of Ho Chi Minh City’s urban railway system, linking Metro lines 1, 2, 3a, and, in the future, Line 4.

Ben Thanh Central Station is approaching completion and is regarded as a new symbolic work in Ho Chi Minh City’s central region. The project was designed to link the underground commercial center, as well as the neighboring buildings and facilities, to construct a comprehensive underground utility system in the city center area.

The first floor of the station is a commercial area that also sells train tickets.

On August 16, the Ho Chi Minh City Urban Railways Management Board said that the primary components, most of the architectural items (ceilings, granite floors, stairs, etc.), fire prevention items, lighting systems, signals, and so on, are now 99% complete.

Currently, the contractor for package 1a (a partnership between Sumitomo Mitsui and Cienco 4) is repairing errors such as scratches and cleaning; at the same time, it is implementing the procurement of interior equipment such as beds and cabinets for the staff room inside the station, as well as processing and installing ticket counters. The acceptance procedures will then be completed.

The second underground floor is where the train stops and picks up and drops off passengers.

Ben Thanh Station is included in Package No. 1a, which is the final building contract for Metro Line 1’s underground portion. Therefore, after completion, the transition to a test run from Ben Thanh station to Suoi Tien station is an important milestone for switching to testing, evaluating system safety certification, and preparing the necessary work for the entire line’s commercial operation under the direction of the Prime Minister and the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City.

MSB Emerges as the Sole Mid-Sized Bank in the Top 5 for CASA Ratio

Advertisements

In the ever-evolving landscape of banking, MSB has demonstrated its resilience and prowess by securing a place among the top contenders in the realm of Current Account and Savings Account (CASA) ratios.

As of the end of the second quarter in 2023, MSB’s CASA ratio stood at an impressive 24.2%. This figure, though slightly reduced from the beginning of the year, is a testament to MSB’s commitment to maintaining a strong foothold in the CASA market. Notably, there was a period when MSB even outperformed the industry giant Vietcombank, briefly claiming the third spot in CASA ratios.

The recently unveiled financial report for the first half of the year sheds light on a noteworthy trend across various banks. While many financial institutions faced a significant decline in their non-term deposit ratios (CASA) during the first quarter of 2023, the subsequent quarter marked a gradual recovery. However, the second quarter’s recovery was not entirely sufficient to counterbalance the negative trajectory experienced in the first quarter. Consequently, as of June 30, 2023, CASA ratios across most banks remained below their initial levels at the beginning of the year.

As of June 30, 2023, the top 10 banks with the highest CASA ratios were ranked as follows: MB, Techcombank, Vietcombank, MSB, ACB, VietinBank, BIDV, Sacombank, TPBank, and PGBank.

A prevailing trend reveals substantial diversification in CASA ratios among different banks. Smaller banks like VietABank, Kienlongbank, BacABank, and NamABank all recorded CASA ratios below 5%. Meanwhile, major private banks such as SHB and LPBank retained a significant proportion of term deposits, with CASA ratios hovering around 7%.

The significance of a high CASA ratio lies in its ability to dilute the costs associated with capital acquisition, ultimately bolstering profit margins. This metric reflects a robust foundation for advancing payment services and digital banking. Additionally, it underscores the potential for cross-selling various products and services.

It is evident that banks heavily invested in digital transformation have gained an advantage in the CASA race. The proliferation of convenient and cost-effective services is driving customers to adopt these institutions as their primary banks, leading to more frequent transactional activities.

Leadership within MSB shared insights into the recent surge in demand for CASA accounts. The growing prominence of electronic banking services, particularly cashless payment options, has driven a surge in CASA account openings. Customers now utilize these accounts not only for essential utilities such as electricity, water, internet, and television but also for purchases ranging from small, everyday items to luxury goods. Consequently, the balances within CASA accounts have seen a substantial uptick.

Banks that can uphold a stable and commanding CASA ratio will be well-positioned to navigate market challenges and uncertainties. A higher CASA ratio equates to lower capital costs for the bank, providing a competitive edge against rivals.

However, the endeavor to boost CASA ratios has encountered difficulties, especially due to the surge in deposit interest rates since late 2022. This phenomenon has exerted substantial pressure on banks’ profit margins, as evidenced by the notably slower growth in profits during the first half of the current year compared to previous years. As a result, these institutions are actively implementing strategies to rekindle the inflow of cost-effective capital.

Petrolimex có nhiều triển vọng tăng trưởng lợi nhuận trong năm 2024

Advertisements

Petrolimex (PLX) – công ty hàng đầu trong lĩnh vực phân phối xăng dầu, đang đứng trước triển vọng tăng trưởng lợi nhuận trong năm 2024. Với thị phần chiếm 50% thị trường, PLX đang góp phần quan trọng trong việc cung ứng xăng dầu cho người dân và doanh nghiệp.

Hiện tại, PLX điều hành hệ thống gồm 2.700 trạm COCO (do công ty sở hữu và vận hành, bán lẻ) và 2.800 trạm DODO (do đại lý sở hữu và vận hành, bán buôn). Điều này cho thấy sự đa dạng và quy mô của hoạt động kinh doanh của công ty, bao gồm cả mảng hóa dầu, khí hóa lỏng (LPG), vận chuyển xăng dầu và bảo hiểm.

Dự Báo Lợi Nhuận Và Đánh Giá Về Giá Cổ Phiếu

Trong bối cảnh này, các chuyên gia dự báo lợi nhuận của PLX sẽ tiếp tục tăng trong năm 2024. Điều này được chứng minh thông qua việc giảm giá mục tiêu của công ty thêm 3,1% xuống 37.800 đồng/cổ phiếu. Dù giảm giá mục tiêu, khuyến nghị vẫn được duy trì ở mức “PHÙ HỢP THỊ TRƯỜNG”. Sự thấp hơn của giá mục tiêu chủ yếu xuất phát từ việc điều chỉnh dự báo LNST sau lợi ích CĐTS trong giai đoạn 2023-2027, đồng thời các yếu tố như chi phí bán hàng và quản lý doanh nghiệp (SG&A) dự kiến cao hơn cũng ảnh hưởng đến dự báo lợi nhuận.

Tuy nhiên, các yếu tố tích cực như chi phí định mức gia tăng từ tháng 7/2023 và dự kiến tăng sản lượng bán sẽ bù đắp những tác động tiêu cực. Dự kiến, LNST sau lợi ích CĐTS báo cáo trong năm 2023 sẽ tăng hơn gấp đôi, đạt mức 3,4 nghìn tỷ đồng. Điều này phản ánh lợi nhuận cao hơn trên mỗi lít xăng dầu, sự tăng sản lượng bán trong nước và lợi nhuận từ việc thoái vốn khỏi PG Bank.

Triển Vọng Tương Lai Và Định Giá Cổ Phiếu

Với sự phân tích kỹ lưỡng, các chuyên gia dự báo triển vọng tăng trưởng kép (CAGR) EPS báo cáo đạt 12% trong giai đoạn 2023-2027. Điều này được dựa trên khả năng PLX tận dụng tăng trưởng nhu cầu xăng dầu ổn định tại Việt Nam, cùng với thị trường toàn cầu. Việc tăng sản lượng bán hàng và duy trì thị phần cũng được xem là những yếu tố quan trọng hỗ trợ tăng trưởng.

Về định giá, PLX được đánh giá hợp lý với mức P/E dự kiến năm 2024 là 13,7 lần. Điều này phản ánh sự phù hợp so với các công ty cùng ngành. Tuy nhiên, không thể không nhắc đến các yếu tố rủi ro như biến động giá dầu và thay đổi chính sách.

Hỗ Trợ Từ Chi Phí Định Mức Và Sửa Đổi Chính Sách

Các chi phí định mức tăng cùng với sự sửa đổi Nghị định 95 đã hỗ trợ lợi nhuận của PLX. Việc điều chỉnh giá chi phí định mức xăng và dầu diesel cũng như sửa đổi các quy định về việc định giá và phân phối đã góp phần vào việc tạo điều kiện thuận lợi cho nhà phân phối xăng dầu.

Tăng Trưởng Sản Lượng Và Chi Phí Bán Hàng

Sản lượng của PLX tiếp tục tăng từ mức cao của năm 2022, đặc biệt là trong nửa đầu năm 2023 khi sản lượng bán hàng tăng 3% so với năm trước. Điều này phần nào là nhờ vào sự giữ vững thị phần của công ty nhờ thương hiệu hàng đầu và mạng lưới phân phối toàn quốc. Dự báo tăng trưởng sản lượng năm 2023 từ 0% lên 3%, cùng với giả định về sản lượng ổn định trong năm 2024, cho thấy tiềm năng tăng trưởng của công ty.

Mặt khác, chi phí bán hàng đang là một trong những yếu tố ảnh hưởng đến khả năng sinh lời của PLX. Trong nửa đầu năm 2023, chi phí bán hàng đã tăng 16% so với năm trước và đã hoàn thành 57% kế hoạch cả năm. Để đảm bảo đủ nhân sự, công ty đã tăng thêm 20% lương cho nhân viên tại các cây xăng.

Tổng Kết

Với các yếu tố tích cực như tăng trưởng sản lượng và việc hỗ trợ từ các sửa đổi chính sách, triển vọng tăng trưởng lợi nhuận của Petrolimex (PLX) trong năm 2024 trở nên rõ ràng. Tuy nhiên, như bất kỳ doanh nghiệp nào, PLX cũng phải đối mặt với những thách thức như biến động giá dầu và yếu tố chính sách.

HAG: Lợi nhuận tăng vọt trong nửa cuối năm 2023 nhờ giá chuối và thịt lợn tăng cao

Advertisements

Hồi phục mạnh mẽ của giá chuối và tăng trưởng đáng kể trong ngành chăn nuôi lợn đã giúp CTCP Hoàng Anh Gia Lai (HOSE: HAG) đạt lợi nhuận cải thiện trong nửa cuối năm 2023. Với tập trung vào lĩnh vực nông nghiệp, HAG đã khéo léo tận dụng tình hình thị trường để tối đa hóa hiệu suất kinh doanh.

Theo phân tích của Chứng khoán Bản Việt (HoSE: VCI), tập đoàn đa ngành này sở hữu một quỹ đất rộng lớn, với hơn 10.000 ha được dành riêng cho việc trồng cây ăn trái, với sản phẩm chủ lực là chuối. Ngoài ra, HAG còn sở hữu bảy trang trại chăn nuôi heo, với tổng công suất sản xuất lên đến 400.000 con mỗi năm.

Sau báo cáo cuối cùng vào ngày 16/09/2022, chúng tôi tiếp tục cập nhật về tình hình hoạt động của CTCP Hoàng Anh Gia Lai (HAG). Trong nửa đầu năm 2023, HAG đã ghi nhận một bước tiến lớn với doanh thu tăng ấn tượng lên tới 55% so với cùng kỳ năm trước. Tuy nhiên, biên lợi nhuận gộp của công ty đã giảm 3 điểm phần trăm so với cùng kỳ năm trước, chủ yếu do giá lợn hơi giảm nhẹ và chi phí thức ăn chăn nuôi tăng cao đã ảnh hưởng đến mảng chăn nuôi lợn.

Tuy vậy, trong quý 2/2023, mảng kinh doanh chăn nuôi lợn của HAG đã phục hồi mạnh mẽ từ mức gần 0% trong quý 1/2023 lên đến 12%, mở ra triển vọng tích cực cho giai đoạn tới.

Chúng tôi tin rằng mảng kinh doanh trái cây của HAG sẽ tiếp tục đáp ứng nhu cầu gia tăng từ thị trường Trung Quốc trong nửa cuối năm 2023. Việc ký kết Nghị định thư về xuất khẩu chuối giữa Việt Nam và Trung Quốc vào tháng 11/2022 đã tạo ra cơ hội mới cho các doanh nghiệp xuất khẩu chuối của Việt Nam. HAG, với vị thế hàng đầu trong việc xuất khẩu chuối từ Việt Nam, cùng với thị trường Trung Quốc chiếm lĩnh 80%-90% sản lượng xuất khẩu chuối của HAG, dự kiến sẽ hưởng lợi rất lớn từ thỏa thuận này.

Đồng thời, mảng chăn nuôi lợn của HAG sẽ tiếp tục được hưởng lợi từ sự tăng trưởng đột phá của giá lợn hơi. Với việc duy trì công suất chăn nuôi lợn hiện tại là 600.000 con/năm và kế hoạch sản xuất 300.000 con lợn mới (+2% so với năm trước) trong năm 2023, HAG đang tạo ra đà tăng trưởng mạnh mẽ trong lĩnh vực này.

Dự kiến, giá lợn hơi sẽ tiếp tục tăng trong nửa cuối năm 2023 do sự không đồng đều giữa cung và cầu thịt lợn. Điều này được hỗ trợ bởi lạm phát giảm đi và sự hồi phục của lĩnh vực du lịch và khách sạn. Trong khi đó, nguồn cung thịt lợn dự kiến sẽ diễn ra chậm hơn do tình hình dịch tả lợn châu Phi tạm thời làm giảm nguồn cung và người nông dân cảnh giác hơn trong việc tái đàn. HAG cũng đặt kế hoạch trồng 2.000 ha ngô để tự cung nguyên liệu thức ăn chăn nuôi, điều này cũng góp phần tăng cường biên lợi nhuận gộp mảng chăn nuôi lợn trong nửa cuối năm 2023.

Với tỷ lệ P/E trượt chỉ là 7,8 lần, thấp hơn 59% so với mức trung bình của các công ty cùng ngành, HAG hiện đang là một cơ hội đáng chú ý trên thị trường chứng khoán.

Mặc dù còn tồn tại những rủi ro như dịch bệnh nông nghiệp, tập trung thị trường tại Trung Quốc, tỷ lệ đòn bẩy cao và biến động giá lợn hơi, tuy nhiên, với một cơ cấu kinh doanh đa dạng và chiến lược linh hoạt, HAG đã chứng minh khả năng thích nghi và khắc phục những thách thức trong môi trường kinh doanh thất thường.

On August 15th, VinFast, an automotive company, rang the opening bell on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and witnessed its stock surge over 200% on its first day of initial public offering (IPO), immediately pushing its market capitalization beyond that of General Motors and Ford Motor.

On August 15th, VinFast officially debuted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, becoming a globally recognized publicly listed company. The company operates under the legal entity VinFast Auto Ltd. (“VinFast”) with the trading code “VFS.”

The ringing of the bell on Nasdaq Stock LLC (“Nasdaq”) occurred shortly after VinFast successfully completed a business merger with Black Spade Acquisition Co (“Black Spade”) on August 14th, 2023.

Consequently, VinFast officially became a globally recognized publicly listed company and is the largest valued Vietnamese brand listed on the U.S. stock exchange up to the present time.

Additionally, this event opens up the possibility of accessing the world’s largest capital market and sets an important direction for the company’s future development. We hope that VinFast’s story will inspire and create numerous opportunities for Vietnamese brands to venture onto the global stage.”

According to Bloomberg, on its very first day as a public company, VinFast’s stock surged by an impressive 255%, marking the best performance of a company listed through a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) on a U.S. exchange since the beginning of the year.

The successful IPO elevated VinFast’s market value to around 85 billion USD, with its stock reaching 37 USD in New York, signifying an increase of over 270% compared to the SPAC’s IPO price.

This remarkable valuation places VinFast ahead of BMW AG, as well as Ford and Rivian Automotive combined, in terms of market capitalization.

Proposal to expand the Ho Chi Minh City – Trung Luong expressway to 8 lanes

Advertisements

The Ministry of Transport has recently reported to the Government the plan to expand the Ho Chi Minh City – Trung Luong – My Thuan expressway. In this plan, the section from Ho Chi Minh City to Trung Luong will be expanded to 8 lanes.

The Ministry of Transport has submitted to the Government the expansion plan for the Ho Chi Minh City – Trung Luong – My Thuan expressway. Specifically, for the Ho Chi Minh City – Trung Luong section, the Ministry of Transport has instructed the Project Management Board to prepare a feasibility study report immediately after receiving the authorized allocation of funds for project preparation.

Accordingly, the expressway will be expanded to 8 lanes, with sufficient emergency stopping lanes, covering a total length of 39.8 kilometers from the Cho Dem interchange to the Than Cuu Nghia interchange. The province of Tien Giang has proposed the expansion of the Trung Luong – My Thuan section using state budget funds. In the case of investment under a PPP model, the Ministry will study and report to the Prime Minister.

According to the Ministry of Transport, since the current road is under operation and toll collection through the BOT model is ongoing, the implementation of the planned 6-lane expansion must take into consideration the rights and interests of the BOT investors. Notably, there are several investors showing interest in expanding the Ho Chi Minh City – Trung Luong – My Thuan expressway, including consortiums such as Cienco 6 – Coteccons – Thuan Viet, Deo Ca Group, and China Communications Construction Company.

The Ministry of Transport has recently requested the Vietnam Road Administration, the Construction Investment Management Bureau, the Traffic Infrastructure Structural Division, and Project Management Unit 6 to expedite the completion of procedures and project utilization for the North-South Expressway section from Nghi Son to Dien Chau.

After completing Nghi Son-Dien Chau expressway, the travel time from Nghe An to Thanh Hoa will be from 3 hours, down to only 1.5 hours. Photo: Traffic Newspaper

The construction investment component of the Nghi Son – Dien Chau section is part of the project to construct several sections of the East North-South expressway, in the 2017-2020 phase. Project Management Unit 6 (the project owner) is currently overseeing contractors and related entities in implementing construction. The project is scheduled for completion and opening to traffic by September 2, 2023.

The Nghi Son – Dien Chau expressway spans 50 km, passing through two provinces: Thanh Hoa (about 6.5 km) and Nghe An (43.5 km), with a total investment of approximately 7.293 trillion Vietnamese dong.

In the phased stage, the road consists of 4 lanes, with a roadbed width of 17 meters and a design speed of 80 km/h. In the completion phase, it will be expanded to 6 lanes, with a roadbed width of 32.25 meters and a design speed of 100-120 km/h.

To prepare for the final inspection and operation of the completed construction and meet the set schedule, the Ministry of Transport requires Project Management Unit 6 to continue overseeing the expedited completion of tasks. This includes conducting and participating directly in the inspection and completion of all construction elements, as well as preparing the required documentation to facilitate the State Inspection Council’s examination process.

Simultaneously, Project Management Unit 6 is to collaborate with the State Inspection Council regarding the inspection of the construction project, planning checks, addressing any existing issues (if any), and ensuring the completion of necessary procedures to bring the project into operation in compliance with regulations and schedule requirements.

It is understood that the Nghi Son – Dien Chau expressway is currently in the final stages of completion. Contractors have mobilized a significant number of workers and machinery to finalize safety-related traffic components such as lane dividers and road markings.

As per the directive from Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, the project must be completed before September 2, 2023. After completion, travel time from Nghe An to Thanh Hoa will reduce from 3 hours to 1.5 hours, and the travel time from Hanoi to Vinh (Nghe An) will be reduced to just 3.5 hours.

TikTok has announced that AI-generated content on its platform must be specially labeled to enable viewers to distinguish between fictional and genuine content.

Matt Navarra, a social media expert, shared on X that TikTok has introduced a feature allowing users to label their content as “AI-generated” before posting. Additionally, TikTok has warned that posts will be taken down if the labeling is incorrect.

Specifically, before uploading videos or images to TikTok, users will be prompted by the new feature to determine if the content is “AI-generated.” Users will need to choose whether to label the content as being created by AI or not. If users choose not to label the content, a reminder notification will appear, urging them to consider labeling the content as “AI-generated.”

In the notification, TikTok requires users to adhere to the regulations, ensuring viewers can differentiate between real and fictional content. Moreover, TikTok threatens to remove posts if they are not appropriately labeled according to the platform’s criteria.

In the realm of artificial intelligence, TikTok is also at the early stages of utilizing an AI chatbot named Tako, which can engage with users in conversations about short video clips and assist them in content development. The platform is currently conducting testing with a selected group of users in this regard.

Green Mobility and Intelligent GSM Corporation have officially launched the SM Bike electric transportation service in Hanoi starting from August 14th.

Starting from 2:00 PM on August 14th, 2023, the SM Bike Green transportation service will officially commence its operations in its first location, Hanoi. This service involves passenger transportation using VinFast electric motorcycles by the GSM Corporation, introduced just 4 months after the launch of the SM Taxi Green service.

In the initial phase, the service will utilize a fleet of VinFast Feliz S electric motorcycles in the distinctive Cyan green color of SM Bike. In the subsequent phase, SM Bike plans to incorporate the VinFast Evo200 electric motorcycle model.

The starting fare for the first 2 kilometers of the SM Bike Green service is 13,800 Vietnamese dong (equivalent to 6,900 dong per kilometer). From the 3rd kilometer onwards, the fare rate is 4,800 dong per kilometer. Customers in Hanoi can book the SM Bike Green service through the SM Bike app available on the iOS App Store and Android’s Google Play Store.

Notably, SM Bike introduces the “Green 2 School” service specifically designed to transport students to schools and universities with flexible hourly schedules using the SM Bike electric motorcycle, or through fixed routes using the SM Taxi electric car and SM Luxury electric car.

Speaking at the launch event of the SM Bike Green service in Hanoi, Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh, the CEO of GSM Corporation, stated: “The launch of SM Bike Green in Hanoi holds significant meaning for GSM. In just 4 months of operation, we have become the world’s first fully electric transportation service provider. Alongside our plans to expand electric taxi services to 27 provinces and 3 countries, SM Bike aims to extend electric motorcycle services to 5 provinces and cities with a fleet size of up to 60,000 vehicles by 2023.”

The government has decided to grant electronic visas (e-visas) to citizens of all countries and territories entering Vietnam from August 15.

According to the government resolution dated August 14, there are 13 airports that allow foreign nationals to enter and exit using e-visas, including Noi Bai, Tan Son Nhat, Cam Ranh, Da Nang, Cat Bi, Can Tho, Phu Quoc, Phu Bai, Van Don, Tho Xuan, Dong Hoi, Phu Cat, and Lien Khuong.

16 land border crossings apply e-visas, including Tay Trang (Dien Bien), Mong Cai (Quang Ninh), Huu Nghi (Lang Son), Lao Cai, Na Meo (Thanh Hoa), Nam Can (Nghe An), Cau Treo (Ha Tinh), Cha Lo (Quang Binh), La Lay and Lao Bao (Quang Tri), Bo Y (Kon Tum), Moc Bai and Xa Mat (Tay Ninh), Tinh Bien and Vinh Xuong (An Giang), and Ha Tien (Kien Giang).

13 sea border crossings apply e-visas, including Hon Gai and Cam Pha (Quang Ninh), Hai Phong, Nghi Son (Thanh Hoa), Vung Ang (Ha Tinh), Chan May (Thua Thien Hue), Da Nang, Nha Trang (Khanh Hoa), Quy Nhon (Binh Dinh), Dung Quat (Quang Ngai), Vung Tau (Ba Ria – Vung Tau), Ho Chi Minh City, and Duong Dong (Kien Giang).

On the same day, the government decided to extend the temporary residence period from 15 to 45 days for citizens of 13 countries that Vietnam unilaterally exempts from visas.

Specifically, these countries include Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Belarus. Citizens of these countries can temporarily reside in Vietnam for 45 days from their date of entry, regardless of passport type or entry purpose.

Earlier, the National Assembly allowed an extension of the temporary residence period to 45 days for citizens of countries exempted from visas by Vietnam, compared to the period specified in the 2014 Law on Entry, Exit, Transit, and Residence of Foreigners in Vietnam.

In June, the National Assembly passed amendments to the Law on Exit and Entry of Vietnamese Citizens and the Law on Entry, Exit, Transit, and Residence of Foreigners in Vietnam, which allowed for an extension of the e-visa period from 30 to 90 days.

The National Assembly has entrusted the government with deciding the list of countries and territories whose citizens are granted e-visas and the list of international border crossings allowing foreign nationals to enter and exit using e-visas.

The expansion of e-visa issuance and extension is expected by the government and businesses to create significant leverage for attracting tourism, investment, business collaboration, and scientific research.

Currently, e-visas are issued by the Immigration Department through an electronic transaction system and are valid for a single entry. Prior to this resolution, Vietnam issued e-visas to citizens of 80 countries.

The Immigration Department notes that, from August 15, 2023,

* To implement the public service of issuing electronic visas for foreigners, it is requested that
