Visa runs from Da Lat
Da Lat Visa Run
Private car, or sleeper bus + car, overnight from Da Lat to the Moc Bai border, home the next evening. Flight booking for fly-out runs, and express Vietnam e-visas. One team, from planning to your new entry stamp.
Living in Da Lat and your Vietnam stay is running out? Da Lat has no e-visa border nearby: the closest crossing, Bu Prang, does not accept the Vietnam e-visa. Your realistic choices are a long drive to Moc Bai or a short flight out from Ho Chi Minh City. We tell you which one fits, then handle it.
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.
Three options
Drive, fly or stay put
Which is best depends on your passport, your current visa and how much time you have. Send us those details and we'll recommend one.

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 or airport written on it. For the land run that is Moc Bai; for a fly-out run, the airport you fly back into.
The closest border is not on the e-visa list
Bu Prang, a few hours from Da Lat, is not an e-visa gate, so you could not come back through it on a Vietnam e-visa. That is why our land run goes to Moc Bai.
You confirm the trip suits your situation
We explain the options and what we know about the procedure. You remain responsible for checking that the plan 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, 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 do you use from Da Lat, and why not the closest one?
We drive to Moc Bai in Tay Ninh, on the main road to Phnom Penh: about 370 km, or 7–8 hours each way. The closest border to Da Lat, Bu Prang, is not on the official list of gates where foreigners can enter with a Vietnam e-visa, and neither is Hoa Lu. Moc Bai is the nearest land gate on that list (evisa.gov.vn).
Can I do it in one day?
Yes, you travel overnight and are home the next evening. By private car: pickup 01:30, at Moc Bai 09:30, new e-visa around 10:30, leave the border 11:30, home around 21:00. By sleeper bus + car: pickup 23:00, at Moc Bai 08:00, leave the border 12:00, home around 22:00.
Is flying out a better idea?
It can be, if you are comfortable travelling on your own. We book return flights from Tan Son Nhat in Ho Chi Minh City to Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur for VND 150,000 per person per one-way ticket, plus the airfare, and can add your new Vietnam e-visa. You get yourself from Da Lat to the airport. See the fly-out visa run page.
Do I need a Cambodian visa?
Most nationalities do. We can arrange the official Cambodian e-visa before the trip for VND 1,100,000, or you can buy a visa on arrival at Bavet for USD 35. Citizens of ASEAN countries and a few others are exempt: see the Cambodia exemption list.
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.
