Visa run from Ho Chi Minh City to Moc Bai

Border Run.

Hi -


There are a number of videos that have been made that describe the process:

Look for those that have been made recently as some are several years old.

Or, if you would rather read:

Apparently, it's Bus no. 703. Should be leaving from the bus station near the big park that is close to the backpacker area (Pham Ngu Lao). But again, you should confirm that that info is still up-to-date.

Iata  border controls

I put a link there, hope it works.
It’s the IATA border restrictions website.

You’ll need a visa to get to the Cambodian side. Preferably the E.visa ...but it looks like all visa issuance is suspended.
Also 14 days quarantine..... but if you can’t get the visa, that won’t happen.

Getting out thru Moc Bai could be a problem as well.

Also , getting a visa back into Vietnam could be a problem,,,I don’t think they’re issuing them yet ...I may be wrong.  But , it could be 14 days quarantine coming back in as well.  So take a toothbrush & a months clothes.

Have you ever been to Moc Bai......it’s a shithole.   28 days there & you’ll be a jibbering mess. 😆

There are travel agents who actually do border run services.....google them & call them up to see what’s happening.

I did a border run thru Moc Bai in January ,,,the 703 bus runs from the bus station at Pham Ngu Lau.    It’ll drop you off about 800 metres from the border.   Getting back can be fun.......you’ll get people telling you the bus has stopped & want to sell a Taxi ride.   

Tourist buses coming back from PP can be caught if seats available, but unless the buses are running , and borders clean, that won’t happen either. 

It all comes down to getting the actual Visas for both ends & dealing with quarantine.   

MAYBE they’ll give visa border runs an exemption......that’s why you should contact the vIsa run services,,they’ll know what’s happening & organise the visas. 

Good luck
