Fast & trusted Vietnam visa run service
Ho Chi Minh – Moc Bai Visa Run
Same-day border run by private car, with Vietnam e-visa support and two departures every day.
Is your Vietnam visa about to expire? The Ho Chi Minh – Moc Bai border run is one of the most popular same-day options for foreigners in Southern Vietnam. Moc Bai International Border Gate, in Tay Ninh Province on the Cambodian border, is a busy and convenient checkpoint for activating a new Vietnam e-visa, and we support you through the whole journey.
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.
Who this route is for
Is the Moc Bai run right for you?
We check that the route fits your passport before we recommend transport. A visa run only works when both the exit and your document for coming back into Vietnam are practical for you.
What our service covers- Expats living in Ho Chi Minh City and Southern Vietnam
- English teachers and digital nomads
- Business travellers and foreign employees
- Tourists extending their stay in Vietnam
- Foreign workers waiting for a work permit or temporary residence card
- Travellers activating a Vietnam e-visa at a land border
Border-day plan
How the route usually works
The exact order can vary with the border and the officers' instructions, but the plan is always the same: confirm documents first, leave with enough time, complete the exit, and check your new Vietnam entry record before heading back.
Option 1
Afternoon trip
Most popular. Leave at 11:30, back around 20:00.
Depart from Ho Chi Minh City
Your private car picks you up from your home, hotel or agreed meeting point. On the way, our team explains each step of the border procedure.
Arrive at Moc Bai
Queue for the Vietnam exit procedure. With the onsite assistance add-on, our staff guides you through it in person.
Exit Vietnam
As soon as you have the Vietnam exit stamp, send us a clear photo of it. This lets our team start checking your Vietnam e-visa straight away.
Enter Cambodia and wait for the e-visa
If we arranged your Cambodia e-visa, just show it at the counter. Otherwise, get the visa at the border and pay there (USD 35, about VND 1,100,000; USD and VND both accepted). You wait briefly on the Cambodian side while we track your Vietnam e-visa and keep you updated.
Receive the e-visa and re-enter Vietnam
Once your Vietnam e-visa is approved, print it and go back to the Vietnam immigration counter. Before leaving the area, send us a photo of your new entry stamp so we can check it.
Drive back
The car takes you back to Ho Chi Minh City.
Arrive back in Ho Chi Minh City
Drop-off at your meeting point or home.
Option 2

Times are typical, not guaranteed. Border queues and e-visa approval times vary, and the order of steps can change on an officer's instruction.
Timing
Good to know
2–3 hours each way
Moc Bai is only around 2–3 hours from Ho Chi Minh City, usually faster and cheaper than a visa run by air.
Back the same day
Most trips leave at 11:30 and are back in Ho Chi Minh City by around 20:00. An early trip leaves at 05:00–05:30.
Private car or limousine
Comfortable door-to-door transport from Ho Chi Minh City to Moc Bai and back.
Before you go
What we confirm first
- Your passport is valid for at least 6 more months
- It has at least 2 blank pages
- It is not damaged or altered
- Your current Vietnam visa or stay is still valid when you exit
- Your Vietnam e-visa details are correct and list Moc Bai as the entry gate
Avoid these
Route risks
- Leaving the border area before your new Vietnam e-visa is approved and ready to use
- Not bringing enough cash for the Cambodian visa if you get it at the border (USD 35, about VND 1,100,000). Not needed if we arrange your Cambodia e-visa.
- Not sending the photo of your exit stamp straight away, which delays the e-visa check
- Assuming the trip will be quick on days with long border queues

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.
Visa validity and permitted stay are different things
A visa shows the period in which it can be used. The stay you are granted on entry is what you must not exceed. Your deadline is the stay granted to you, so check your entry stamp or e-visa details, not only the visa's end date.
Rules depend on your nationality and history
Visa exemptions, e-visa eligibility, visa-on-arrival options and past overstays all vary from person to person. Two travellers on the same trip can face different requirements.
You confirm the trip suits your situation
We explain the route and what we know about the procedure. You remain responsible for checking that this trip fits your nationality, visa type and plans, using official sources. If your situation is unusual, get advice before you book.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is a visa run?
A visa run is a short trip out of Vietnam and back in, usually across a nearby land border, 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.
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 at the time you arrive. Be wary of anyone who promises otherwise.
Which routes do you run?
Our main route is Ho Chi Minh City to Moc Bai and back by private car, with an afternoon and an early-morning departure every day. We can also book flights for a fly-out visa run. Details are on the routes page.
Do I need my new Vietnam e-visa before the trip?
Not if we handle it for you. With our visa packages we take care of the Vietnam e-visa application; on the day, you send us a photo of your exit stamp and wait briefly on the Cambodian side while we track the approval, then you re-enter Vietnam. If you prefer to apply yourself, use the official portal evisa.gov.vn and choose Moc Bai as the entry gate. Either way, approval and its timing are decided by the Vietnam Immigration Department.
How much does a visa run cost?
It depends on the route, whether the trip is shared or private and how many people travel. Our current prices and exactly what they cover are on the pricing page. Each route states whether government visa fees are included.
How do I book?
Send the inquiry form or message us on WhatsApp with your nationality, preferred date and number of travellers. We reply with a suitable route and a written plan. Your place is confirmed once you accept the plan in writing and complete any deposit described on the pricing page.
