What does "multiple entry" visa entail?

Question

I am planning a trip to Vietnam. I would like to also visit Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. I will most likely be traveling from to Cambodia, back to Vietnam. Then Vietnam to Laos, back to Vietnam. The Vietnam to Thailand, and fly back to Vietnam. However, on a visa website I read that w/ a multiple entry visa I would only be allowed to stay in vietnam for 30 days at a time (or something like that) is that true even with a 6 month visa?

Answer 1

Read your visa carefuly.  

Multiple entry basically mean you can re-enter Vietnam as many times as you wish with-in the period of time indicated in your Visa.

As for the days you are allowed to stay, it is also indicated in the Visa.

I overstayed one time in China, penalty is quite expensive...

Take care and Enjoy!

Answer 2

Answer 3

Agree with De Tour - multiple entry means you are able to enter as many times but only within the validity date of the visa.

Answer 4

.......it depends on the multiple visa you apply for, there is 1 day, 3 days, one week, one month, etc. so you have to make sure you know what you applied for.....of course as the days are increasing, it is getting expensive also....
