Can you do a visa run from Vietnam to a neighboring country to renew your Vietnamese e-visa, and will you be allowed back in?

TL;DR
Yes, visa runs from Nha Trang work: fly to a nearby country (Malaysia, Indonesia, UAE), apply for a new Vietnam e-visa, and fly back the same or next day — immigration allows this, but airlines check your passport and return ticket at boarding.

One traveler asks whether it's possible to fly from Vietnam to Malaysia for a single day and return with a fresh e-visa — essentially the classic visa-run scheme to extend your stay.

A couple traveling on Russian passports shared their successful experience: they entered Vietnam via the UAE, later did a visa run to Indonesia, applied for a new visa there, and flew back to Vietnam with return tickets to Russia already booked. Documents and tickets were checked at boarding on both legs, but they were let through without issues.

Package tour travelers with Russian passports are planning a trip to Malaysia and worry whether they'll be allowed back into Vietnam — their concern stems from traveling on a package tour rather than independently.
