5 year Viet Kieu visa and border run

Just curious if the 5 year visa for Viet Kieu still require holders to do visa runs every 6 months. I received my 5 year visa last year but have not been back to Vietnam nor would I stay long enough to require a visa run but just curious for future reference.
Appreciate any info.

Hey qnbui...Yes, you have to get your 5 year visa stamped ever 6 months.

Only if you stay in the country for longer than 6 months.  If you don't, just consider it a regular multiple-entry visa.

Thanks! Appreciate the info!
