The current visa-free option expires on June 30th for UK passport holders. It looks like the smartest option for me is to apply via email to the Vietnam embassy in the US for a multiple entry visa on my US passport. I'm honestly thoroughly confused by all the options though. My priorities are minimizing time spent at the airport, and then, secondarily, cost.

Thoughts or advice? Should I wait to see if the visa-free is extended?
Enter visa-free on 30 June using UK passport. Leave on 1 July using UK passport.

Obtain e-Visa using USA passport for 22 July entry. Leave 24 July using USA passport.
