Hi. A quick question guys. I'm going Thailand at Christmas for two months and want to spend a few days in Vietnam but not sure about visa. I know I can get a 60 day visa but that is only single entry, and multi entry is for a longer stay 🤔 thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is traveling to Thailand for two months and considering a short trip to Vietnam. They mention being aware of a 60-day single-entry visa for Thailand but are unsure about how a potential trip to Vietnam fits in. The comments clarify that a UK passport holder can likely enter Vietnam without needing a visa, potentially staying for up to 60-90 days in Thailand through visa exemption and exiting and re-entering if necessary.

then you probably won't need any visa. Can enter, stay for up to 60-90 days, exit, and enter again to stay again up to 60-90 days.

Visa and entry conditions to Vietnam is dependent on your passport country .

Some countries require visa before travel (no visa on arrival) and some countries are allowed entry on arrival .

Since you don't state your passport country then you will need to do some research yourself.

It is critically important that you disclose your passport/nationality, in order for anyone to give you relevant advice.

You'll receive a 60 day visa exempt stamp each time you enter Thailand.
