Vietnam visa extension fees for foreigners
The cost of visa extension for foreigners is not fixed because it depends on the following factors.
Vietnam visa extension time
Immigration Department will stamp the stay on the passport with a period of 15 days/1 month/3 months/6 months depending on the originally available visa of the customer when extending the stay. For this item, the most important factor is the time of entry to Vietnam.
If applying for a new Vietnam visa, and temporary residence card: The Department will affix the visa on the passport with a period of 3 months/ 6 months/ 1 year and the single-entry or multiple-entry. Or grant a new temporary residence card – TRC with a period of more than 1 year/2 years/3 years/5 years.
Therefore, the price of visa extension will vary depending on whether the foreigner pays the 6-month visa extension fee or the 1-year visa extension fee.
Change the purpose of stay
This form can be understood simply as the conversion of the type of visa. For example, converting a tourist visa to a work visa/ work temporary residence card. Or converting a business visa guaranteed by company A to a DN visa guaranteed by company B.
This is also a factor that leads businesses not to be able to extend visas for foreign experts by themselves but must use Vietnam visa extension services.
Entry time
This factor also affects the cost of visa extension, especially for the original business visa. Normally, the original business visa renewal cost will be very high if it has a length of stay for more than one year.
Nationality
The cost of Vietnam visa extension also depends on the nationality of the foreigner needing to extend the visa. For difficult and sensitive nationalities such as Africa, South Africa, Pakistan… the costs are often high and not fixed. Therefore, it is necessary to check the cost for each case.
