When applying for a visa to Vietnam (or any country), you’ll often see two options: single-entry and multiple-entry. The difference may seem small, but it can make a big impact on how freely you travel in and out of the country. Here’s a simple breakdown to help you choose the right one for your trip.
🛂 What is a Single-Entry Visa?
A single-entry visa allows you to enter Vietnam only once during the visa’s validity period.
That means:
Once you leave Vietnam — even for a short trip — your visa automatically expires. If you wish to return, you’ll need to apply for a new visa before re-entry.
Example:
If you enter Vietnam on January 1 and leave on January 15 to visit Thailand, you cannot re-enter Vietnam with the same visa. You’ll need to get a new one before coming back.
This option is ideal if:
- You plan to stay in Vietnam continuously for your entire trip.
- You don’t plan to travel to nearby countries before your visa ends.
🌏 What is a Multiple-Entry Visa?
A multiple-entry visa allows you to enter and exit Vietnam multiple times within the visa’s validity period.
That means:
You can leave Vietnam for a short trip (for example, to Laos, Thailand, or Cambodia) and come back without applying for a new visa. It’s much more convenient for travelers who move in and out frequently.
Example:
If you have a 3-month multiple-entry visa, you can enter Vietnam on January 1, leave for a week in February, return in March — all using the same visa.
This option is ideal if:
- You often travel in and out of Vietnam for business or leisure.
- You want to avoid the hassle of reapplying for a visa after every short trip.
💡 Which One Should You Choose?
It depends on your travel plan:
- Single-entry visa → Best for short stays or one continuous trip in Vietnam.
- Multiple-entry visa → Best for travelers who plan to visit neighboring countries and return to Vietnam without extra paperwork.
