Tips for extending your Vietnam e-visa:

  • Apply for a new e-visa at least 30 days before your current e-visa expires.
  • Make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months after your intended date of departure from Vietnam.
  • Have a valid return or onward ticket.
  • Pay the visa fee.

Once you have applied for a new e-visa, you will receive an e-visa approval letter by email. Print out this letter and carry it with you when you travel to Vietnam.

When you arrive at Vietnam immigration, present your e-visa approval letter and your passport to the immigration officer. You will then be issued with a visa stamp in your passport.

Please note that the Vietnamese government may change its visa policies at any time. It is always best to check with the Vietnamese embassy or consulate in your home country for the latest information.
