Vietnam visa waiver for French from the 2nd entry onwards

From July 1st 2015 to June 30th 2016, the citizens of France visitors will not need a visa to Vietnam for less than 15 days of stay (more about Vietnam visa exemption).

However, if you schedule a long trip with the return to Vietnam after 1 or 2 weeks, you should give careful consideration to the visa requirement then. Continue reading

Can I use both Vietnam visa issued by the Embassy and visa on arrival for my multiple entry?

I applied for a visa through the Vietnam Embassy and received it.  I leave for Vietnam on Oct. 12th, 2014.  My problem is I received a single entry visa and have found out I will be needing to enter Vietnam one more time.  I am in Vietnam for 2 weeks then go to Cambodia for a visit.  I would like to get another single entry  arrival visa from you and then use when I return from Cambodia.  Is this a problem?  Can I have two single entry visas at the same time and use them separately or do I need to start over and get a new visa for multiple entry?  What happens with the old visa?  Thanks so much.
