Vietnam's 90-day e-visa (single or multiple entry) covers most nationalities and is the backbone of long stays here. A single-entry e-visa ends when you leave; a run resets it with a fresh e-visa, or you use the multiple-entry version and just bounce out and back. Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Da Nang are the main gateways.
Closest and cheapest first, from Vietnam. Entry rules below are for a strong passport — open a destination to check yours exactly, or plan the whole run.
“All-in” = round-trip airfare + any entry fee + a few nights’ mid-range hotel. Live fares show once you plan the run.
A single-entry 90-day e-visa is used up the moment you exit. To keep staying you apply for a new one (3–5 working days, ~$25) and re-enter. A multiple-entry e-visa lets you leave and return within its validity without reapplying.
Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Phnom Penh, Singapore and Vientiane are all short, cheap hops from Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, and each gives you a comfortable visa-free or e-visa stay on arrival.
Yes — Vietnam is the one country where we run the full application end to end: we prepare and submit it, you just travel. Every other country is planning only for now.
Officially 3–5 working days. Peak periods run longer, so apply a week or more before you need to travel. Fast-track options exist if you're tight.
