Vietnam visa rejected after visa run or multiple entries — what to do?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: today
TL;DR
Travelers are reporting Vietnam visa rejections in 2026, especially after visa runs and back-to-back 3-month visas. Rules appear to have tightened significantly.
What the community said
A traveler who had previously obtained a 3-month visa, then did a visa run with an agent for another 3-month visa, received a rejection on the next application. The pattern of stacking multiple long-stay visas appears to now trigger refusals.

A solo traveler applying for a visa for dental treatment (not a tour package) received the same rejection response three times in a row, even after submitting clinic contacts, return flight tickets, and hotel bookings. Medical tourism purposes alone do not seem to guarantee approval.

Around mid-June 2026, travelers began reporting that Vietnam visas were no longer being issued — even to those who already held a valid visa. The situation remains unclear and appears to be changing rapidly.
