Visa extension services help travelers stay in Vietnam longer than their visas allow
If you plan to stay in Vietnam longer than your visa allows, you have two options: exiting and re-entering the country or applying for a visa extension without leaving. Many travelers choose the visa extension option due to its convenience and cost-effectiveness.
What is a Visa Extension?

A visa extension allows foreign visitors to extend their stay in Vietnam without the need to exit the country. By obtaining an extension, an additional stamp will be placed in your passport, indicating the new duration of your stay.
Important: Visa extensions apply to single-entry visas only.
