Visa runs from Nha Trang
Nha Trang Visa Run
Overnight coach from Nha Trang to Cambodia (Moc Bai) or Laos (Bo Y) from VND 1,300,000 per person round trip, with Vietnam e-visa support all the way. Or skip the trip: e-visa and visa extension help in Nha Trang.
Living in Nha Trang and your Vietnam stay is running out? The two land borders we use are a long drive away: Moc Bai into Cambodia, past Ho Chi Minh City, and Bo Y into Laos, in the Central Highlands. Both accept the Vietnam e-visa. You travel there overnight by coach and are back the next evening. We explain every step on the way and follow your new e-visa while you are at the border.
We are a private trip organiser, not a government office. Visa approval and entry are always decided by the authorities. What that means for you.
Two routes
Cambodia or Laos: pick by passport
Both trips are long, about 500 km each way. The deciding question is usually your nationality: Cambodia accepts its e-visa and sells visas on arrival at Bavet, while Laos does neither at Phou Keua.
Nha Trang – Bo Y (Laos)
per personVND 1,300,000
Laos visa: Laos visa-exempt passport, or a Lao visa we arrange before the trip.

E-visa pricesWho this is for
Made for life in Nha Trang

Border-day plan
How the trip usually works
The exact order can vary with the border and the officers' instructions, but the plan is always the same: confirm documents first, agree the schedule, complete the exit, and check your new Vietnam entry record before heading back.
To Cambodia
Nha Trang – Moc Bai
Overnight coach: leave Nha Trang 21:30, back 22:00 the next day.
Meet at the coach office in Nha Trang

Arrive at Moc Bai
You reach the border next morning, after about about 500 km on the road.
Exit Vietnam, enter Cambodia
Get your Vietnam exit stamp and send us a clear photo of it, so our team can check your new Vietnam e-visa straight away. Show the Cambodia e-visa we arranged, or get the visa on arrival at the counter and pay in US dollars. Then wait on the Cambodian side while we follow your Vietnam e-visa.
Receive the e-visa, re-enter Vietnam
Once your new Vietnam e-visa is approved, exit Cambodia and re-enter Vietnam at Moc Bai. Send us a photo of your new entry stamp so we can check it.
Coach leaves Moc Bai
The coach heads back to Nha Trang. If your e-visa or the queue takes longer, we agree the plan with you on the day.

You wait briefly on the Lao side while we follow your Vietnam e-visa.

Times are typical, not guaranteed. Mountain roads, border queues and e-visa approval times vary, and the order of steps can change on an officer's instruction.
Before you go
What we confirm first
- Your passport is valid for at least 6 more months
- It has at least 2 blank pages
- Your current Vietnam visa or stay is still valid on the day you exit
- Your new Vietnam e-visa names Moc Bai or Bo Y as the entry gate
- For Cambodia: your Cambodia e-visa is ready, or you bring US dollars for the visa on arrival
- For Laos: your passport is visa-exempt, or your Lao visa is ready before the trip
Avoid these
Route risks
- Going to Bo Y without a Lao visa when your passport is not exempt. Phou Keua has no visa on arrival.
- Applying for an e-visa that names a different gate, such as Cam Ranh Airport or Lao Bao
- Missing the 21:30 departure: the coach does not wait
- Leaving the border area before your new Vietnam e-visa is approved and ready to use

Before you book
Important immigration considerations
We would rather you read this now than find out at the border.
Crossing a border does not guarantee re-entry
Leaving Vietnam and coming back is a new entry. The border officer decides whether to admit you, every time. No trip organiser can promise that outcome, and we do not.
Your e-visa must name the right gate
A Vietnam e-visa is used at the border gate written on it. For these trips that is Moc Bai or Bo Y. Both are on the official list of e-visa border gates.
Rules depend on your nationality
Visa exemptions for Cambodia and Laos, and e-visa eligibility for Vietnam, all depend on your passport. Two travellers in the same car can face different requirements.
You confirm the trip suits your situation
We explain the route and what we know about the procedure. You remain responsible for checking that this trip fits your nationality, visa type and plans, using official sources.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is a visa run?
A visa run is a short trip out of Vietnam and back in across a land border, so that you can enter again on a new visa or a new visa-exempt stay. It is a normal international exit and a normal new entry. Nothing about it is automatic: the border officer decides on entry each time.
Which border is closest to Nha Trang?
Neither is close. Bo Y, on the Lao border north-west of Kon Tum, is about 480 km away (8–9 hours each way). Moc Bai, on the Cambodian border west of Ho Chi Minh City, is about 500 km away (7–8 hours each way on the expressway). Both routes use an overnight coach: leave Nha Trang at 21:30, cross the border in the morning and be back around 22:00 the next day.
Should I go to Cambodia or Laos?
It depends on your passport. At Bavet (Cambodia) you can use a Cambodia e-visa, which we arrange before the trip, and most nationalities can also buy a visa on arrival. At Phou Keua (Laos) there is no visa on arrival and the Lao e-visa is not accepted, so the Laos route suits passports that are visa-exempt for Laos, such as Russian, South Korean, Japanese and ASEAN passports, or travellers with a Lao visa arranged before the trip, which we can do for you. Send us your nationality and we'll recommend one.
Can I use a Vietnam e-visa at Moc Bai and Bo Y?
Yes. Both Moc Bai (Tay Ninh) and Bo Y are on the official list of border gates where foreigners can enter Vietnam with an e-visa, published on evisa.gov.vn. Your e-visa must name the gate you will use.
Can you guarantee I will be allowed back into Vietnam?
No. Nobody outside the Vietnamese authorities can. We organise the trip, explain the procedure and check your paperwork with you before departure, but the decision to admit you is made by the border officer when you arrive. Be wary of anyone who promises otherwise.
Can I extend my visa instead of doing a visa run?
Sometimes. It depends on your visa type and whether an organisation can sponsor the extension. Many tourist e-visas cannot be extended inside Vietnam, and then a visa run is the practical option. Send us a photo of your current visa page and we will tell you honestly which applies. See e-visa and extension.
