Vietnam visa run from Hanoi to Laos
How to do Vietnam visa run to Laos
Visa run is a way for foreigners to extend their stay in Vietnam by leaving the country for a short period of time and then returning. This is done by traveling to a neighboring country, such as Laos, Cambodia, China, or Thailand, and then re-entering Vietnam on a new visa. Visa runs are typically done when a foreigner's visa is about to expire and they do not want or cannot extend it through official channels, such as because the process is too expensive or time-consuming.
