Do you need to pay an agent for a visa run from Nha Trang, and can airlines still ask for an onward ticket even if you already have a Vietnam visa?

TL;DR
Travelers report that you can usually handle a visa run yourself without paying a realtor or tour operator. However, airlines may still ask for a return or onward ticket at check-in even if you already have a valid Vietnam visa.
What the community said
Even with a valid visa, the airline may still check for a return or onward ticket at check-in. In other words, having a visa does not guarantee that staff will skip the exit-ticket check.

Based on traveler experience, you do not necessarily need to pay a realtor or middleman for a visa run: once you go directly to the checkpoint yourself, the extra fee may suddenly disappear. The practical takeaway is to verify any official payment on-site before agreeing to intermediary services.

Some tour operators offer an advance payment to avoid lines during a visa run. In the discussion, this looked more like an aggressive upsell, so it is worth checking whether this is an official fast-track service or just an intermediary markup.
