Transit visa
In most cases, you do not need a transit visa for Vietnam as long as you stay within the onward-flight zone and do not leave the airport.
Departure board at Ho Chi Minh city airport
Most countries in the world, except for the US, UK and Canada, do not require a visa if you land in the countries just for transiting purpose. Vietnam is one of these countries, and does not require any transit visa, as long as you plan to stay inside the airport.
Note, however, international airports such as Hanoi Noi Bai Airport and Danang International Airport are rather small and not the best places for a light-sleeper. Therefore if you have an over-night transit, you might want to exit the airport and stay at a nearby hotel. In those cases, you will need a normal single entry visa.
E-Visa
Vietnam applies its new policy for e-visa effective from 1 February 2017.
