- Keep Your Phone Charged: E-visas are usually received electronically, so reliable phone access is important when re-entering Vietnam.
- Dress for Border Waiting Time: The checkpoint area can become hot around midday, especially during dry season months in Central Vietnam.
- Immigration Procedures Can Change: Entry requirements, visa forms, and border routines may be updated without much notice, which is why many travelers prefer assisted visa-run services.
