The visa fee is $0 (visa-free regime) for Ukrainian tourists who choose hotels on the resort island of Phu Quoc in the Gulf of Thailand for their vacation.

The maximum duration of a visa-free vacation is 30 days.
A 90-day single-entry tourist E-visa for a holiday on the mainland of Vietnam (Nha Trang, Phan Thiet, Da Nang) costs $25. The resort cities of Nha Trang and Da Nang feature long coastlines and a wide selection of entertainment for tourists of all ages. Phan Thiet, a resort with a unique "dry" microclimate, is a favorite spot for windsurfers and kitesurfers.
