Smooth Border Crossing: Your Essential Vietnam Travel Prep Guide

Crossing the border from Cambodia to Vietnam can be one of the most exciting parts of your trip — but only if you’re well-prepared. To ensure your journey with VET Air Bus is smooth and stress-free, here’s a quick checklist of everything you need before you reach the border.

Passport Validity

Check that your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned stay in Vietnam. This is a mandatory requirement for all travelers and one of the most common causes of delay at immigration.

Blank Visa Page

You’ll need at least one blank page in your passport for the immigration stamp. A clean and unused page helps speed up your entry process.

Visa or Exemption

Citizens of ASEAN countries can enjoy visa-free entry for up to 30 days when visiting Vietnam. However, travelers from non-ASEAN countries must apply for a visa in advance before crossing. The Vietnam e-Visa system makes this easy — you can apply online here.

⚠️ In Case of Border Delays

If a passenger is delayed due to immigration procedures and misses their scheduled bus, VET Air Bus shall not be held liable for the delay or any resulting inconvenience.

Still, as a gesture of goodwill, if there are seats available on a later departure the same day, our team will gladly help rebook you onto the next available bus of the same type — at no extra cost.

Travel Smart — Plan Ahead

Border clearance times can vary depending on crowd levels and immigration inspection. To ensure a hassle-free experience:

  • Arrive early for your departure
  • Keep printed copies of your travel documents
  • Double-check your visa eligibility and border requirements

For Travelers Entering Cambodia from Vietnam

If you’re planning a reverse trip from Vietnam into Cambodia, certain nationalities are required to undergo a short immigration interview at Bavet Border before entry.
