Vietnam E-Visa Validity and Stay Rules
The electronic visa system of Vietnam offers flexible entry options tailored to your itinerary:
90-Day Single-Entry E-Visa: Permits a single entry into Vietnam for a stay of up to 90 consecutive days. This visa automatically expires once you exit the country.
90-Day Multiple-Entry E-Visa: Designed for business travelers and regional tourists. It allows you to enter and exit Vietnam multiple times within the 90-day validity period without needing to apply for a new visa.
Extension Warning: Please note that e-Visas cannot be extended from within Vietnam. If you wish to stay longer than 90 days, you must exit the country (e.g., via a "visa run" to a neighboring country like Cambodia, Laos, or Thailand) and re-enter using a new approved e-Visa.

Passport Validity: Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of arrival in Vietnam and contain at least 2 blank pages for border stamps.
