You can set ReturnType="Next" on the Entry, I hope that this doesn't only show it visually but will also allow you to hop to the next Entry. If not, here is some code that might be able to help you with that.

Unfortunately at this point in the Xamarin.Forms lifecycle we won't be implementing anything new to support this. You should be able to make this work yourself with a plugin or custom renderer.
