TL;DR
Travelers report that visa-run passengers at Nha Trang airport may face random extra screening, including questions about cash, especially if carrying Vietnamese dong out of the country. An airport processing fee was mentioned at about USD 25, although some arrivals said their paperwork was not checked at all.
What the community said
In one recent case, the traveler used an agent, but the airport processing cost was remembered as about USD 25 if handled on arrival. It's worth confirming current rates in advance, but USD 25 was the reported airport benchmark.

Some arrivals report a much lighter process: they completed the required form, but nobody actually asked to see it. In practice, airport checks can be selective rather than applied equally to every traveler.

Extra screening can happen when leaving on a visa run. One traveler was asked to show cash—VND 3 million and USD 1,000—and explain why they were taking Vietnamese dong out of the country. After saying it was a visa run and they would return in a week, the questioning ended.
