Pre-Trip Documents ( VISA RUN TO LAO BAO BORDER GATE)

Before you embark on your visa run, you will need to get a few things.

The first is an “approval letter”, which grants you the right to apply for a visa. Please note, this is not the visa. This is merely a letter that will let you apply for a visa at the border.

An approval letter for most folks should be between $30 and $50. Typically land border crossings are a touch more expensive than airport gates. For approval letters - You work directly at the official government website https://evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn/en_US/trang-chu-ttdt. You will need to decide the LENGTH of your visa (depends on nationality but typically 1 month/30 days, 3 months/90 days, 6 months or one year, depending on what criteria you meet) and the NUMBER OF ENTRIES (whether single, a one time visa, or a multiple, re-use visa).

Once you have your approval letter, download the Vietnamese and Laotian visa applications, print them and fill them out. In addition, get two (2) passport sized photos. There are countless photo shops around both Da Nang and Hoi An that can do this.

Before we go any further, let’s check, and make sure we have the following:

  • Approval Letter
  • Completed visa applications for Vietnam and Laos
  • Two passport photos 4*6 (white background)
  • Money for Lao visa (1.000.000 VND)
