Vietnam Visa Extension and Renewal
Content:
Overstaying Vietnam visa will result in a penalty and also a poor mark in your history in Vietnam with Vietnam Immigration, so we don’t wish you are in this situation. In case you wish to stay in Vietnam longer than your visa length, you may have 02 ways to extend your stay:
- doing visa run, or
- do visa extension without leaving the country.
In the outbreak of Covid-19, the latter is highly recommended as you will:
- avoid the risk of being infected from the crowds,
- avoid the risk of being refused from re-entering Vietnam if you are from/transiting through the virus-affected zones.
Visa Extension/Renewal Requirements
To extend/review Vietnam visa, your original passport must:
- be valid for at least 06 months from the time of extension/renewal.
- have at least 02 blank pages.
Visa Extension
Visa Extension means that you will have a new permission to further stay in Vietnam without leaving and reentering the country. By this action, you will get an extension stamp on your passport indicating your new stay duration.
Visa Renewal
Renew visa means that you are granted a new page sticker on your passport as a new visa with the new duration permission. The visa renewal fee is higher than the visa extension fee because you must pay stamping fee and visa sticker fee.
Note: This service is now not offered by the Vietnam Immigration Office. We will keep you updated immediately upon new developments.
