Two visa questions to answer before you book

A visa run to Cambodia involves two separate entries: into Cambodia, and back into Vietnam. Each has its own rules.

1. How will you enter Cambodia?

You have two options. Book a package and we arrange your Cambodia e-visa before the trip, so there is nothing to do or pay at the Cambodian counter except show it. Or get the visa at the Bavet border on the day and pay there: USD 35, about VND 1,100,000 (USD and VND both accepted). Some passports, including those of ASEAN countries, can enter Cambodia visa-free. The Kingdom of Cambodia's official e-visa site lists the rules for each nationality.

Only use the official government site to apply for a Cambodian e-visa. Unofficial sites can charge more and are not the issuing authority.

2. How will you come back into Vietnam?

If you are not visa-exempt for Vietnam, you need a Vietnam e-visa that lists Moc Bai as the entry gate. Moc Bai is on the Government's list of border gates for e-visa holders, a list expanded by Resolution 389/NQ-CP of 2 December 2025. With our visa packages we handle the application: after you exit Vietnam you send us a photo of your exit stamp and wait briefly on the Cambodian side while we track the approval. If you apply yourself, use evisa.gov.vn. Do not leave the border area until the e-visa is approved.

Remember: holding a valid visa means you can apply to enter. The border officer decides whether to admit you and how long you may stay. We can't guarantee either outcome, for Cambodia or for Vietnam.

Questions about this route

Do I need a Cambodian visa for a visa run?

Most nationalities do, and there are two ways to get it. With our packages we arrange a Cambodia e-visa before the trip, so you only show it at the counter. Or you get the visa at the Bavet border on the day and pay there: USD 35, about VND 1,100,000 (USD and VND both accepted). Some passports, including those of ASEAN countries, can enter Cambodia visa-free. Check the Kingdom of Cambodia's official e-visa site for your nationality.

Can I use a Vietnam e-visa to come back through Moc Bai?

Yes. Moc Bai is on the Government's list of border gates where e-visa holders can enter and exit Vietnam (the list was expanded by Resolution 389/NQ-CP of 2 December 2025). Your e-visa must list Moc Bai as the entry gate and be valid on the day you come back.
