TL;DR
Book a round-trip ticket as one continuous itinerary directly through the airline (e.g. Vietnam Airlines or Aeroflot) — this way the booking reliably shows up in the system for check-in and border control.
What the community said
For check-in with a return ticket, book it as a single continuous itinerary through the official airline — this way it's guaranteed to appear in the airport system in Vietnam.
today Single-itinerary airline booking
With a combined round-trip fare, check-in for the return leg is usually only possible starting from the original departure point — you can't shift the return date separately from the initial itinerary.
today Check-in tied to origin point
Some travelers ran into issues where tickets booked through third-party services didn't show up in the airline's system at check-in in Vietnam — booking directly on the carrier's official website is more reliable.
