Questions and Answers (01)
We arrive on Feb 15,2026 by sea at Ho chi Minh port at 6:15 AM & depart at 6:00 PM then sail to Nha Trang seaport arriving at 9:00 AM departing at 6:00 PM. Is that considered single or multiple entry?
@Rose Baltazar, since you visit Nha Trang and Ho Chi Minh City on the same cruise trip without leaving Vietnam in between, you will only need a single-entry visa.
