When getting into Vietnam with 1 month visa and then leaving the country when it expires and coming back with another visa, you need to pay for visa fee once more time, and then also the travel cost.

When entering Vietnam with a 3 months visa, the situation is different. You only need to pay for visa fee once without any cost of travel in and out. It is just around US$59 for a 3-month single entry visa via Visa-Vietnam.com.au. The fee may be less. To view details, refer to https://visa-vietnam.com.au/#visa-fee-instruction.
