Southeast Asia Competition: Vietnam Launches E-Medical Visa to Challenge Thailand’s Fertility Hub Status

Written By camellia chen

【Abstract】: (Destination Marketing) The Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security and Ministry of Health jointly launched a specialized "E-Medical Visa" today. The visa offers expedited entry and 30-day stays for fertility patients. With IVF costs in Ho Chi Minh City averaging 40% less than Bangkok, Vietnam is aggressively targeting the budget-conscious segment of the Chinese and Indian markets.

  • Business Insight: The Southeast Asian market is stratifying. Thailand and Singapore are moving upmarket (Premium/Luxury), leaving a vacuum for "Value-Based" options. Vietnam is filling this gap. Agencies should diversify their portfolios to include Vietnam as a "Budget-Friendly" alternative for price-sensitive clients.
