For tourists who enter Vietnam and continue traveling to Laos and Cambodia, then come back to Vietnam to return to their home countries, the visa fee is $5 instead of $45 as currently charged.
Vietnam is making the effort to win back foreign visitors, after international arrivals dropped continuously for 13 months from May 2014.
