## Border-entry rules used by this service

- Na Meo crosses from Vietnam into Laos at Namsoi. A Laos visa must be obtained from the Laos Embassy before travel. Hanoi Visa Run can arrange this for 1,600,000 VND per traveler and requires the original passport in advance.
- Huu Nghi crosses from Vietnam into China. Online booking is limited to passport holders supported for visa-free entry to China. A traveler with another valid Chinese entry document should request a manual check.
- Nationality screening on the booking form is an operator-availability policy. Immigration authorities make all final entry decisions.

## Important interpretation notes

- Huu Nghi is a China border, not a Laos border.
- Lao Bao and Na Meo are separate Laos crossings with different Laos-visa procedures.
- A border run does not automatically grant a new stay. Re-entry requires valid permission, and immigration retains discretion.
- Do not infer daily availability, guaranteed processing time, guaranteed entry, included meals, or fixed pickup zones unless confirmed in the customer’s booking.
