As from Jan. 1, 2010, citizens of Vietnam and Cambodia holding ordinary passports valid for at least six months will need no visa to enter or transit the other country, according to the Foreign Ministry’s Consular Department.

Those citizens of one country may stay in the other country for up to 30 days instead of 14 days, the department said.

The new visa regulation applies according to the amendment of the bilateral agreement on visa exemption, which was signed in November and took effect in December 2008.
