HOW TO EXTEND VISA EXEMPTION?

Visitors must apply for an exemption extension if they want to stay in Vietnam past the allotted time since foreigners with visa exemption certificates are only permitted to be here for a limited time. Citizens included in Vietnamese visa free countries lists should care about this note if they are interested in living in Vietnam more.

To prepare for the extensions, foreigners should have the following documents:

  • A powerful passport is needed.

  • Visitors can utilize international travel documents instead.

  • Permanent residence permit. 

  • Using form NA5 to require a stay extension.

  • Another vital item is a visa exemption certificate.

The process of extending the Vietnam visa exemption will be divided into 3 steps:

  • Step 1: Some documents are required to extend travelers' stay in Vietnam.

  • Step 2: To submit, go to the Vietnam Immigration Office or the immigration office in Vietnam's provinces and cities. Since the Immigration Department has received your complete application, the procedure takes approximately 5 working days.

  • Step 3: The applicant will receive a receipt if their application is accepted. Otherwise, applicants are requested to update the relevant documents if it is not accepted. After that, please pay the fee of USD10 to get the visa exemption extension certificate.
