Why Vietnam visa for Ugandan passengers is needed?

Vietnam like other countries world-wide has its own Visa restriction so as to check and control the flow of visitors in and out Vietnam to prevent the illegal immigrations.

Therefore, Vietnam visa for Ugandan passengers is indispensable document that all Ugandan travelers have to obtain in order to visit Vietnam.

In the other hand, Uruguayan citizens will not need Vietnam visa for Ugandan passengers in case they fly directly Phu Quoc Island by air and stay there less than 15 days.
