Vietnam visa extension in Hanoi

Definition

Vietnam visa extension is extending your visa deadlines so that you can continue your stay in Vietnam without leaving. Once the extension processing is completed, you will receive a new visa stamp of an extended period. The stamp is good for single entry.

Vietnam visa renewal operates the same but you will be granted a new visa STICKER that can be used for multiple entries during the stay of extension.

Here are two options of applying for a Vietnam visa extension in Hanoi:

Apply in person at Vietnam immigration office

Submission time: Monday to the morning of Saturday

Requirements:

• Form NA15 (available at the office)
• Valid passport

Extend the visa with VVE

Step 1. Check visa extension fee

The extension fee varies for different cases. We need to see your passport and visa sticker to give a quote. If you cannot send the copies of documents, please provide the following information:

• Nationality:
• Visa type: 1 month or 3 months, e-visa or visa on arrival, or visa obtained through the embassy
• Visa category: Tourist or business
• Port of entry:

All copies and information should be sent to support@vietnamvisa-easy.com.

Step 2. Hand over the passport

If you are interested in extending the visa through our company, we will require you to confirm the current address in Hanoi and the best time to send our staff picking up the passport free of charge.

Step 3. Get your passport back and pay the fee

The standard processing time takes 7-10 working days. On the deadline, our staff will return the passport to you and collect the fee. Either USD or VND is accepted.

Important note:

• If you just overstay the visa by 1-5 days, we advise you to pay the fine to the immigration officer at Vietnam airports when you leave as the cost to extend the visa is more expensive.
• Normally, the extension stay will start from the end date of the current visa. Nevertheless, when you extend the visa too early, the extended period will start from the date your application is approved. The most ideal time to submit the visa extension application is one week before the visa expires.
