STAY in Vietnam for 1 YEAR with this Simple Trick! 

You have been in Vietnam for how long and you are now an 'expert' giving consultations? This is very laughable, you are only a cheap no-class hustler, I predict you will be finished in a short time, you are low on money, almost desperate for cash flow! 😒😂😂

@@steve9901 Way too early for that. I just barely hit 1800. But I am hoping to hit 2000 by Halloween.

Seems they weren't really too early haha

@@OpoOnTheGo we're still not quite there 1976 subscribers. Maybe tomorrow we can get there? 👍👍

@@Willtravelz I'm sure you'll be in the clear in no time big dawg!

Thank you. 👍👍

It does sound good. But for someone that's on a tighter budget it doesn't make sense to go spend more money in Bangkok. Especially when I have an amazing rental here in Danang.

Nice. Pretty sure you will have a good time.

@@billyjohnson9166 Thank you. I really appreciate it.

Thanks I appreciate it

Thanks I appreciate it.

@@Willtravelz He's right, there's been cases I red where people are refused a re-entry; it depends on many factors but they could deny you entry and you'd be in a bad situation your stuff being in Vietnam... Probably not going to happen the first time you do this, but the more you do it, say the 3rd or 4th time consecutively then the risk increases. I think there are services you can pay to ensure a smooth passage, not sure about those.

@@oceanwave4142 I've never heard of a story of someone having this happened in Vietnam. In fact there was two guys on my bus that were doing this for the third time in a row. Last time I did the bus run there was a guy doing his fourth time in a row. I'm not saying it's not going to happen but I've never heard of a case from anybody that's talked about this. Even go on RU-vid and look up denied for Vietnam Visa at border. It doesn't really happen.

It has a little risk that you will not get a visa and your belongings are in Vietnam. For me a better way is to leave Vietnam for about 1-3 months and then back again. Me and my wife will stay in our second home inthe Philippines and from there we will travel to Vietnam and stay up to 3 months. The cost to fly and stay to another country will not be more compared to a visarun. I go for the saver way ;-)

@@Creees yeah as long as you apply for your visa and a good amount of time let's say at least 3 weeks if not more in advance everything will be smooth and fast. I've done two visa runs so far both have been pretty simple. If I stay after January I will probably do another bus run again. I have done the flight to Bangkok visa run before as well.

@Willtravelz yer its depressing going to visa run and not even eating in the other country. Its so dull and when you think about it one hour is 10% of the day but its a great experience. To eat lunch, drink coffee and mingle with others makes it so much more fun. I dint know why other foreigners are in a rush to get back. The day is over and its a long tiring journey. All restaurants, massage parlous and supermarkets will all be open well after returning. There was a big golden budha at the border which i didnt get to see as others were terrified we would be abandoned by the company. So i thought next time i am going straight there to see it and atraight back. Only a 15 minute walk. On the group chat there was an English dude and Russians and he was talking about getting a car and doing it. That would be cool. Before you get to Khe Sanh there is such an amazing cafe overlooking the valleys. The most beautiful scenery ive seen in Vietnam. Also as Australians and Americans Khe Sanh is very famous so to have a look around would be sweet. Another alternative is going to Hue city. And taking a 2.5 hour trip to the border and doing it slower and seeing more. Or just to sleep in

@@Creees so with the doing it yourself also adds a lot of risk. I've heard a lot of horror stories about people being bribed at the border which doesn't happen when you go through an agency. Or missing a bus or certain things not working on time. I highly recommend doing the bus only if you want to come back the same day. If you don't want to come back the same day then I highly recommend flying to Bangkok and spending a few days there until your new Eevee so gets approved.

@@Willtravelz thanks man. Great info. Have you lived in other countries on your asian journey?

@@Creees I guess you would technically consider me living in Bangkok in Thailand I was there for about 5 months on and off so Bangkok I would consider that I lived at for 5 months also I've stayed in the Philippines on and off over the years so I somewhat consider myself living in Bangkok for half of a year and on and off in the Philippines for months and months as well.

You can't can't apply for an e visa whilst in Vietnam

You have to get to the airport 2 hours early you also have to wait for your next flight and you have to get to the airport 2 hours early on the return flight back. This is all assuming you want to get it done in the same day. A lot of people don't want to spend multiple days out of Vietnam. This is the safest and easiest way to do the border run all in one day without having to rent a hotel or be out of the country for longer than one day.

@@Willtravelz I get to the airport exactly 90 hour early, go into an airport lounge. And go into the plane 10 mins after boarding starts. Domestically and internationally. Lounge has coffee free food and a lot more comfy than a bus. Can't call it the same time spent. 12 hours in a bus while you PAY them doesn't sound pleasant. At least you can make a vacation out of the flight.

@@Re3iRtH I Think You're missing two important factors. If you take the flight you have to allow or at least supposed to allow 2 hours before each flight. Bless each flight is an hour and a half long each way. That means one way you're spending three and a half to 4 hours total for each way at the airport and on the plane. Plus you would have to hope that the return flight is very near your landing flight the same day. So assuming you left at 9:30 in the morning on the plane you wouldn't get back till about 6 or 7:00 p.m. on the returning flight that same day. I think you're not taking into account that this route is for people that want to do this all in one day not have to spend a week in Bangkok paying for new hotels when they already have an apartment back in Vietnam. The flight is the better option if you're planning on staying 5 days or more in another country. But if you're looking to come back the same day the bus is by far the better option. Also I think you're not understanding the total time on the bus. You're on the bus for 4 hours each way. And every 2 hours you're getting a break. so it's not like you're sitting on a bus for 12 hours nonstop. You're on the bus for 2 hours get a break walk outside go to the bathroom. Then you're back on the bus for another 2 hours until you reach the border. Then you're at the border and you can have lunch or wait around and lounge at the border until your Visa is ready. And then you're back on the bus for another 2 hours and have another break, and then you're back on the bus for two more hours and you're finally back in Vietnam all in the same day.

@@Willtravelz thanks for clearing that up. I really would love to try a year in vietnam but i don't feel comfortable signing a long term apartment lease due to the shenanigans you described. Or leaving valuable electronics in the country where you are at the mercy of the immigration agent. Doing visa runs being allowed but i have heard of people in Thailand being turned away after spending more than 9 months in the country without a long-term visa. I have been in the philippines for the year but the awful quality food makes me want to live in thailand or vietnam.

@@Re3iRtH you could sign a 3-month lease most landlords only require a 3-month lease. I've never honestly heard of someone being denied a new Visa. But I can't say for sure.

I'm an American I need a eVisa here too. You could go through the agency and do the same process as me.

No bathrooms but you stop for a bathroom break every 2 hours.

you could never be on a bus without a bathroom? what are you 5? or bladder control problems

@@1greenMitsi bladder control.......wish i was 5 again!!!!

The "border visa" is just the same type of regular e-visa which you initially enter Vietnam with, but the agency has connections with immigration and can get it fast tracked (within minutes/hours) after you stamp out of the country instead of the usual 4 or 5 days that it will take if you do it on your own.

And yes, both are 90 days.

Yes so once your original 90 day Visa is up you have to leave the country. This is a workaround you would apply for a new Visa go out of the country for an hour or two into Laos and then turn back around and get a brand new 90 day Visa.

Yes correct.

Two reasons. The first problem is you end up spending the same amount of time doing the Bangkok route For example. You have to get to the airportt 2 hours ahead of time. And then you'll have about a 3 or a 4-hour wait before the return flight. So all in all you'll end up taking 10 hours minimum to do the same thing on a plane. Also the issue is you cannot get a new visa unless you're out of the country. That means you have to land at the airport in Bangkok contact a Visa agency and hope that within 4 hours they will get you a same-day Visa. If not you will have to stay in Bangkok and apply for a new e Visa which takes 3 to 5 days to get. So that's the reason why people don't do the flights. You either have to rush and contact a visa agency in hopes that as soon as you land they can get you a 4-hour rush visa before your return flight back the same day, or you have to stay in Bangkok for 3 to 5 days until you get your new e Visa. The bus Visa run allows you to leave the country get your visa the same day while you're in Laos and then return that same day. And it takes almost exactly the same amount of time if you factor in getting to the airport early getting to the airplane before you need to get on your return flight and the waiting time from the time that your first plane lands to your second plane lands. With the risk that they won't be able to get you your rush visa the same day then you lose your return ticket all together. So that's the big reason why.

@@Willtravelz The whole process is much easier when you enjoy spending some time in another country. To me dying 12+ hours in a bus is still a no-no compared to enjoy Bangkok/Phnom Phen/Bali for a week, have a good food and come back. But it's a question of taste I guess. If you are feeling too adventurous, you don't need to go anywhere. There are agencies who will take your passport and will bring it to you in 5 days with a stamp on it. Even though it's quite risky one would say, I tried it nevertheless and it worked everytime, 50 dollars.

@@matuspekar5159 so now you're talking about a whole different. I recommend if you want to come back the same day do the bus route. If you don't mind staying in Thailand or another country for days then yes I definitely recommend the flight route. But my channel is usually geared towards travel budget people who don't have the money or don't want to spend the extra money in Thailand. Thailand you get a much shorter visa and Thailand especially Bangkok is much more expensive than Vietnam. So yes if people want to come back the same day the bus is the best option. But if people have extra money or don't care about spending more than I recommend doing the flight to Bangkok.

Never seen this before. With the agency everything goes smooth I've never seen or heard anyone having an issue.

Yes I'm not sure but I think when I went with somebody they did not have to pay for their laos Visa. Not 100% sure but I'm pretty sure that EU doesn't have to pay for the Laos visa.

@@Willtravelz no it's not EU in general, only certain countries.

@@leevikiviranta9071 you can take local bus from busstation to Lao Bao, walk over the border, get the stamp, walk back, get the 45 day visa free in Vietnam and take the local bus back. It's around 200k vnd for the bus each way. I haven't done it myself but I saw a RU-vid video about it a few days ago..

@@sanjuanlaunionvlog 👍👍

@@micmike yes roughly $600 to $700 which would include the Vietnam's visas ( x4 a year) Laos visas ( x4 a year) and 4 bus transportation trips. Basically think of it as $50 USD a month.

@@micmike depends on where you are from. Some countries don't need visa in Laos and Vietnam (14 /45 days) so it's only the bus ride. Local bus is around 200k vnd each way, so it's 8 times 400k vnd = 145$ us a year

It's about 10 minutes to walk from the border to the place that you get the laos stamp and then about 10 minutes back.

@@Willtravelz thanks for the info

@@Antonio-MargaretAzpiazu thanks for watching. 👍👍

So you could do this four times a year. There is no limit on how many times you do this back-to-back. So essentially you could do this four times a year

@@Willtravelz So actually this title is just 'click bait' because you can't stay in Vietnam without leaving for one year, and there is no actual 'trick' involved.

​@@theoldgringo7482I had a feeling it was clickbait, thanks for saving me time 😄
