FAQ
How long is a Vietnam eVisa valid after a visa run? +
Up to 90 days, whether single-entry or multiple-entry (+$25 USD). It's the same standard eVisa as any other application, not a separate product tied to visa runs.
Can I apply for my new eVisa while still in Vietnam? +
No. You need to be outside Vietnam when you apply. Plan to exit first, then apply from your visa run destination.
Do I need to wait abroad until my new eVisa is approved? +
Yes. Don't book your return flight until you have your fully approved eVisa in hand -- boarding without it can mean being denied entry back into Vietnam.
Which visa run destination is fastest? +
Cambodia is popular for its short flight and land-border options from southern Vietnam. Thailand and Malaysia are also common choices with frequent, affordable flights.
