Visa validity
The visa becomes effective from the entry date you submit in the application. You are able to enter Vietnam on or later this date, NOT earlier. A very important note is the 6 months and 1 year Vietnam tourist visa for US citizens just allows 3 months stay for one entry. After every 3 months, you must do visa run or get visa extended to prolong the stay. However, you can avoid this hassle by applying for long-term business visa to stay in Vietnam continuously until the visa expires.
