Now that it's been reintroduced for UK citizens, does anyone know if a return ticket/proof of onward travel is required? I'm going there and back next week via Bavet/MocBai but one of our staff will pick me up from/take me back to the border on the Vietnamese side

Fwiw I flew to Saigon from Bangkok with Vietjet last week (yes, long delay). Vietjet allowed me to board with a one way ticket on a British passport but cautioned me I would have to explain my onward travel plans at Immigration.
In the event the officer just asked how long I intended my stay to be and I said About ten days, and he stamped my 15 day visa waiver.
I doubt controls are any more strict at Moc Bai.
Currently the cheapest bus is $30 SGN-PNH. I've been told prices will drop further, but probably not to pre-Covid levels.
The flight was 90% Viets, no masking or distancing. The queue at Immigration took 90 minutes. Considering all the waiting around at airports and the inconveniences the bus option isn't that much worse.
