Do you need a return/onward ticket to enter Vietnam if you already have an e-visa?

TL;DR

In practice, immigration and airlines rarely ask for a return/onward ticket, especially if you already have a Vietnam e-visa. If asked, saying you don't have one is usually enough to pass.

What the community said

When flying to Vietnam, airlines usually don't ask for a return ticket if you already have a valid e-visa.

e-visa = no ticket needed

If it's just a formality check, simply saying 'I don't have one' is usually enough to get through.

In rare cases, if staff are suspicious, travelers may have to explain at length, and it doesn't always guarantee entry — this has happened to some travelers.

One traveler flies without return tickets regularly and says that even when asked, answering 'no ticket' doesn't change anything — they still get through.
