Vietnam Tourist Visa Multiple Entry allows Indian travellers to enter and exit Vietnam an unlimited number of times within the visa validity period. It is the correct choice for multi-country Southeast Asia holidays where Vietnam is one of several stops and travellers plan to return to Vietnam after visiting neighbouring countries.
This guide is for Indian tourists on multi-country Southeast Asia trips including Cambodia, Laos, or Thailand alongside Vietnam. Vietnam visa rules and processing timelines can change — treat this as a practical planning reference and confirm final requirements before applying.

How this compares to similar options
For land-border Vietnam re-entries (for example, crossing from Cambodia by road to Ho Chi Minh City), only e-visa multiple entry works — visa on arrival multiple entry does not cover land crossings. If you plan any land-border Vietnam re-entry, apply for Vietnam e-visa multiple entry, not VOA multiple entry.
Multiple entry tourist visa: for multi-country Southeast Asia holidays
- Map your full multi-country itinerary and mark every Vietnam entry and exit point
- Confirm each non-Vietnam country entry visa or e-visa availability for Indian passport
- For land border Vietnam re-entries, apply for e-visa multiple entry (not VOA)
- Passport valid at least 6 months from last planned Vietnam exit
- Hotel bookings for each Vietnam stay segment covering all nights
Common mistakes Indian applicants make
Multiple entry tourist visa holders sometimes expect the Vietnam multiple entry visa to also cover Cambodia or Laos entry. It does not. Your Vietnam multiple entry visa only covers Vietnam entries. You need separate visa arrangements for every other country in your Southeast Asia itinerary.

Practical tip before you apply
When planning a multi-country SE Asia trip with Vietnam, create a visa table: Country → Visa Required → How to Get. India passport holders can often get Cambodia e-visa and Laos e-visa independently. Vietnam e-visa multiple entry covers all Vietnam entries. Planning this before booking flights saves complications mid-trip.
