Visa runs from Quy Nhon
Quy Nhon Visa Run
Same-day border run by private car to Cambodia (Le Thanh) or Laos (Bo Y), with Vietnam e-visa support from pickup to drop-off.
Living in Quy Nhon and your Vietnam stay is running out? The nearest land borders are in the Central Highlands: Le Thanh into Cambodia and Bo Y into Laos. Both accept the Vietnam e-visa. We drive you there and back in a day, 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 but simple day runs. The deciding question is usually your nationality: Cambodia sells visas on arrival at O Yadav, while Laos does not at Phou Keua.
Quy Nhon – Bo Y (Laos)
per carVND 4,000,000
Laos visa: Laos visa-exempt passport, or a Lao visa we arrange before the trip.

Border-day plan
How the day usually works
The exact order can vary with the border and the officers' instructions, but the plan is always the same: confirm documents first, leave early, complete the exit, and check your new Vietnam entry record before heading back.
To Cambodia
Quy Nhon – Le Thanh
About 4½–5 hours each way, back the same day.
Pickup in Quy Nhon

Exit Vietnam
As soon as you have the exit stamp, send us a clear photo of it. That lets our team check your new Vietnam e-visa straight away.

If your passport is not visa-exempt for Cambodia, get the visa on arrival at the counter and pay in US dollars. Bring clean, undamaged notes. You wait briefly on the Cambodian side while we follow your Vietnam e-visa.

Show your new Vietnam e-visa, which must name Le Thanh as the entry gate. Before leaving, send us a photo of your new entry stamp so we can check it.

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 Le Thanh or Bo Y as the entry gate
- 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 Moc Bai or Lao Bao
- Not bringing US dollars in clean notes for the Cambodian visa on arrival
- 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 Le Thanh 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 Quy Nhon?
Le Thanh, on the Cambodian border west of Pleiku, is the closest: about 250 km, or 4½–5 hours each way (pickup 04:00, back around 18:30). Bo Y, on the Lao border north-west of Kon Tum, is about 290 km, or about 6 hours each way (pickup 03:00, back around 19:30). Both are a long but doable same-day trip by private car.
Should I go to Cambodia or Laos?
It depends on your passport. At O Yadav (Cambodia) most nationalities can 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 Le Thanh and Bo Y?
Yes. Both Le Thanh (Gia Lai) 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.
Is there a cheaper option than a private car?
You can reach Pleiku or Kon Tum by public bus and continue by local transport, but the connections to the border are slow and the timing is hard to make work in one day. A private car lets you leave early, wait at the border as long as needed and come back the same evening. Sharing the car with friends brings the cost per person down.
