Answer to BusinessVisa,

The process of getting a Vietnam business visa is not so different with tourist visa. If you travel by air, you just visit our site http://www.vietnam-visa.com, apply online and make the payment. We will send you an confirmation email right after receiving your payment. You will receive your approval letter after 2-3 days (normal service)or within 1 day (urgent service)(except Saturday and Sunday).

I would like to reconfirm:

Note:

- Tourists can stay over 1 day in Vietnam from expired date of their Vietnam visa. If tourist wants to stay over longer, they should be renew or extend Vietnam visa.

Is this applied on foreign tourist (tourist visa) only or included business or internship visa?

Answer to Thymt:

Thank you for contacting us!

Please be kindly informed that you can stay over 1 day in Vietnam from the expired date as long as you have booked flight for that day already.
