Questions and Answers (03)
I'm planning to travel Phu Quoc Island from Hong Kong and return to Hong Kong as well, do I need to apply the travelling visa as I am holding the Australian passport?
@Pui Yan Gladys Lam, If you just stay within the island (not visit other cities in Vietnam), then you will not need a visa for a 30 day stay.
Hi, I'm planning on flying Melbourne to Ho Chi Minh then travelling to Cambodia (unsure if via flight, bus or boat as yet) for a couple of weeks, then coming back to Vietnam for a couple of weeks, then flying out of Ho Chi Minh back to Melbourne. My question is about Vietnamese visas - I've been advised I need multi entry (but cannot find how to apply) that I need 2 x single entry & that I can't have 2 x single entry visas. Totally confused & would appreciate advice. Thank you.
@Fiona Eye, You are right, you cannot have two visas at the same time and multi-entry visa is not available at the moment. Therefore, when you exit Vietnam for Cambodia, you can apply for another single entry to re-enter the country!
