Valid Vietnam tourist visa in old passport
I get a new passport, but I have a valid Vietnam tourist visa in my old passport. Can I travel with both passports to Vietnam without applying for a new visa? (I'm a portuguese citizen).

Seems you would not even need a visa if going to Phú Quốc.

@pnuts which means direct flights to Phu Quoc from another country. Maybe it depends on the season but when I checked last year I couldn't find any. I think used to be from Singapore and Cambodia.

You can still have your current visa transferred to your new passport. At Saigon airport, you’ll have to pay 15 USD for this work.
Another persons experience below:
Arrived at Saigon airport with valid visa in a cancelled passport, together with my new passport. At Saigon airport I had to pay USD 15 to have the visa transferred from the cancelled passport to my new passport.

From the same thread "Fortunately not: when a passport is cancelled by the issuing authority, visas still remain valid. in fact UKPA makes a particular point of only cutting off the corners of the passport cover, and never deface any of the pages for this particular reason. It was a 3 month business visa and it was more the principle of the thing, 'easy cash' USD 15 which went straight into somebody's pocket - they wouldn't give me a receipt... I had even checked with the Vietnamese Embassy beforehand!" (my emphasis)
