Hi, for visa run or border run (not sure the difference) to Vietnam. Do I need to have visa to Vietnam?
What is the short, safe and less expensive visa run/border run you can recommend me to do next week from-to Koh phangan. I can't do Malaysia, unfortunately. Thank you
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses the need for a visa when planning a border run to Vietnam from Koh Phangan, with users clarifying that Vietnam does not share a direct border with Thailand. Recommended alternatives include crossing into Laos or Cambodia, with emphasis on the necessity of knowing one's nationality for visa requirements. Comments highlight the logistics and costs associated with these border runs, noting that while direct flights to Phú Quốc, Vietnam are visa-exempt for certain travelers, land crossings can be more complex.
