Resist Vietnam border guards asking for ‘tips’

Leave a reply

Recently, the Chinese Embassy in Vietnam received a report from Chinese citizens who were asked for “tips” by Vietnamese port staff when entering Vietnam. Our pavilion attaches great importance to this and has lodged solemn representations with the relevant departments of the Vietnamese side, urging the Vietnamese side to take effective measures to strengthen the investigation and punishment of illegal acts, and resolutely put an end to public officials at ports receiving “tips” in any form. The Chinese Embassy will continue to closely follow relevant developments and resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens.

The Chinese Embassy in Vietnam once again reminds Chinese citizens that the Vietnamese government clearly prohibits public officials at ports from collecting “tips”, and foreign citizens are not required to pay “tips” to local public officials when entering or leaving Vietnam through air or land ports.

The melody of “Gong Xi Fa CAI” is heard in my ears, and the buildings along the street are decorated with golden long queues, passing by tourists in Han and Tang costumes… These are common scenes seen in many parts of China during the Chinese New Year of the Dragon, and also in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.

Many industry insiders said that the strong Chinese New Year flavor in Kuala Lumpur is closely related to the mutual visa exemption between China and Malaysia. China has previously announced that it will implement a unilateral visa-free entry policy for six countries, including Malaysia, from December 1, 2023. Malaysia also announced that from December 1, 2023, Malaysia will implement visa-free measures for Chinese citizens within 30 days of entry.

The Malaysian government also hopes that outbound Chinese tourists will drive the recovery of Malaysia’s tourism industry. On Lunar New Year’s Eve, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim took part in the activities at Ji Chang Street in Malacca to experience the thick Spring Festival atmosphere with local citizens and tourists. On the first and second days of the Chinese New Year, Malaysian Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture Zhang Qingxin made a special trip to Kuala Lumpur International Airport to greet Chinese tourists and bring them souvenirs.

From high-rise Kuala Lumpur to the historic city of Malacca, Chinese tourists visiting Malaysia are welcoming the New Year on their travels and enjoying new experiences that are both familiar and novel.
