A multiple entry visa for Vietnam allows the holder to enter and exit Vietnam for a unlimited number of times within a given period of time, usually up to 1 year. This type of visa is useful for people who need to travel to Vietnam frequently for business, tourism, or other purposes. With this type of visa, you can visit Vietnam as many times as you want during the validity period of your visa. This means you don't have to apply for a new visa every time you enter the country, which can save time and money.

Overview

With the continuous development of the economy and tourism, the frequency of foreigners entering and exiting Vietnam has increased remarkably. Therefore, multiple-entry visa is the popular visa type for a large group of visitors coming to Vietnam.

Vietnam multi-entry visa stamp

A multiple entry visa allows foreigners to enter and exit Vietnam for an unlimited time in a certain period of time. It means you can exit and re-enter Vietnam as many times as you wish until the visa expires without applying for a new visa.

Multi-entry visa in brief:

  • 1 month multi-entry
  • 3 month multi-entry
  • 6 month multi-entry
  • 1 year multi-entry (US passports)
  • 5 year multi-entry (Spouse visa exemption)

How to apply

To get a multiple entry visa to Vietnam, you can consider one of 3 following ways:

Multiple-entry visa at Embassy

The most popular way to get any type of visa is at an Embassy of Vietnam. You need to prepare all required documents for the application including a visa application form, a valid original passport, photos, and an introduction letter from a Vietnamese enterprise/agency (for business visa). After submitting all the documents and paying the fee at the embassy office, you will get the visa and original passport back in person or by post.

In fact, the process and documents required at the embassy or consulate vary in different countries. Therefore, you should contact the embassy of Vietnam in your residing country for more information.

Multiple-entry visa on arrival

Applying for a visa on arrival with multiple entries is one of the most convenient ways for foreigners, especially when the Vietnamese embassy is unavailable in your residing country. However, this way is only available for those who travel to Vietnam by air and enter via one of 8 designated airports (Noi Bai, Tan Son Nhat, Cat Bi, Danang, Cam Ranh, Lien Khuong, Phu Quoc, Can Tho).

Applicants must apply for a pre-approved letter through a visa agency. This paper is legally granted by the Vietnam Immigration Department and used to board the plane and get your visa stamped at your arrival port in Vietnam. The approval visa letter requires an application form and full payment of the service fee, and it takes 2-5 working days (urgent visa approval letter within 2-4 hours available at a high fee)

At the Vietnam airport, you will present a pre-approved visa letter, a visa application form, your valid passport, and 2 passport-sized photos and pay a stamping fee at the Immigration Counter/Visa on Arrival counter to get a multiple-entry visa.

Multiple-entry E-visa

In March 2023, the government is considering a proposal to prolong the validity of a Vietnam E-visa from 30 days (1 month) to 90 days (3 months) and apply for multiple entries instead of single entry as before. The program is expected to be valid from June/July 2023 and you can easily get a Vietnam multiple-entry visa online.

Hi, we are visiting Vietnam later this month. Our flight leaves from the US on June 16th, but we would not arrive in Vietnam till the 17th. On the eVisa application form would we put the 16th or the 17th as our arrival date? Also, we plan on leaving Vietnam on July 4th. If we put July 4th as our exit date, would the eVisa still be issued for the full 30 days or just up until July 4th? Just not sure exactly how that would work if our flight got delayed or we had to stay for a few days longer than July 4th. Thanks.

Hi, I am planning to come to HCMC on June 19 for a 3 month internship. Because there’s only the 1 month single entry visa, I plan to go on a 4-day trip to another country each month and get a new visa each time. I’m confused because when I read articles on “visa runs,” they say to have your e-visa ready. However, is it possible to apply for a new e-visa while I’m still in the country of Vietnam? How will the e-visa portal know whether I’ve left the country, in order to allow me to apply for a new one?

I received my evisa and it is only good for 15 days instead of 30. I didn't change the duration of the visa, but that is what I received. I reapplied last night ( on the official evisa portal through government?). But because I leave on Wednesday, I doubt I will get it or be sure it's correct. What do you suggest I do? Request an extension? Or should I apply for a visa to renter again after the expiration date and leave the country. Then return?

A Lina Tran Answered on May 19, 2023

@Clarissa Pierceall, Normally, the e-visa is issued based on the entry and exit dates that you chose on the application form, with a maximum duration of 30 days. However, it seems that there might have been an error in selecting the dates, resulting in the e-visa being issued for only 15 days. For example, if you selected June 01 as the entry date and June 15 as the exit date, the e-visa would be valid for this period. If you have already reapplied, please wait for the new visa to be issued if you intend to stay for 30 days, as it is currently not possible to extend the e-visa in Vietnam.

I planning to come Saigon on 19 June by single entry Visa, and go to South Korea on 26 June then back to Saigon on 30June for few more day before return to Australia. Should I change my Visa to multiple entry Visa or better apply for extra single entry Visa? Where and when I should apply for re-entry Visa? Thanks.

@Tuan Le, Currently, the E-visa is valid for a single entry only, meaning that you will need another visa to re-enter Vietnam. However, there is a proposal for a 3-month multiple entry E-visa that is expected to be implemented soon. If you do not plan to travel until June, it may be worthwhile to wait for the updated visa policy before making a decision.

On what date in May can a multiple entry visa be obtained online, May the 1st or another date. (I am flying to Saigon from Australia on May 12th. A week later I fly to The Phillipines, then a week later to Hanoi, then to Cambodia and finally to Saigon and then home. So I’ll be entering Vietnam three times within a one month period.)

@Christopher Adams, We cannot say for sure when it will be available, most likely it will be introduced in late May or June. You can check out the latest news on visa policy below:

I am looking to purchase a 30 day multi-visit E-Visa for my trip to Vietnam with my partner in July. We enter Vietnam on the 10th July, exit to Cambodia on the 24th July and return on the 4th August, before exiting Vietnam on the 8th August. Please can you send across all relevant information and a link for completing, submitting and paying for our 30 day multi-visit e-visa.

@Caitlin Mahoney, The e-visa is only valid for a single-entry visit. To travel back to Vietnam from Cambodia on 24 July, you will need to apply for another single-entry visa.

@PANAGIOTIS LYMTSIOULIS, The current e-visa for Vietnam is valid for a single entry of 30 days only. If you plan to exit and return the country, you can apply for another single entry when you are in Cambodia.
