When it comes to staying longer in Vietnam, you have to make sure that your visa will remain valid for the entire length of your stay in the country. Remember that staying in Vietnam with an expired visa is illegal.
Most foreigners would come to Vietnam for only a short holiday, but others would want to stay a little bit longer in order to fully enjoy what this beautiful country has to offer. If you are a foreigner based in Quang Ninh City and would like to extend your stay, you can apply for a visa extension from the Vietnam Immigration Department. If your application is approved, the validity of your visa will be extended for a longer time. So if you’re holding a tourist visa that’s only good for 30 days, you can request for it to be extended for a few more days, allowing you to stay longer in Quang Ninh City.
The visa extension sounds like a good option for all foreign travelers to Vietnam. But what exactly is this and how do you apply for a visa extension?
A visa extension is a process of extending the validity of your Vietnamese visa. As you know, Vietnam visas are only valid for a certain period. In most cases, they are only valid for 30 days, such as a tourist and business visa. There are also visas that are good for 60 days. But if you believe that the validity is just not enough to cover the entire length of your stay in Vietnam, you can apply for a visa extension.
With a visa extension, you can extend your visa’s validity to the same period as that of the validity of your visa. However, you cannot request an extension of more than your visa’s validity. For instance, if you are holding a 30-day tourist visa, you can only extend it for 30 days or less, but not more than 30 days. There are other conditions that will apply with the visa extension depending on your nationality and other factors. The Vietnam Immigration Office will have to evaluate your application before deciding whether to approve your request or not.
When you request for your Vietnamese visa to be extended in Quang Ninh, make sure that you have the necessary requirements. Below is a list of requirements that you need to submit.
👉 Passport – just like with applying for a new visa to Vietnam, your passport is a very important requirement that you need to submit to be approved for the visa extension. But check your passport and make sure that it remains valid for at least six months from the date you requested for the visa extension.
👉 Completed application form – when you apply for a visa extension, you will be asked to fill out the application form. Although this form is available to download online, you can also get this from the Vietnam Immigration Office in Quang Ninh. Fill out the form completely by providing your complete name and other important details. Form NA5 for visa extension.
👉 Visa copy – you must submit a copy of the visa you are trying to extend. The visa is usually attached to the pages of your passport. But if not, then you have to submit the visa separately.
There may be additional requirements that you need to submit aside from those that were mentioned above, but this will depend on your situation. You better call the Vietnam Immigration Office ahead to find out the exact requirements you need to submit.
Once you have all the requirements prepared, follow these steps to apply for your visa extension in Quang Ninh City.
👉 First, call the Vietnam Immigration Office in Quang Ninh City to inquire about the exact requirements needed for your Vietnam visa extension request. You will find the address and contact details of the Immigration Office at the official website of the Vietnam Immigration Department.
👉 On the day of your appointment, make sure to bring all the requirements with you. Upon your arrival, the Vietnam Immigration Office will ask you to fill out the application form if you have not done it yet. Make sure you fill out the form completely and check if the spelling is correct, especially your name and other important details.
👉 When you’re done, give it to the staff. The staff will check your application form to ensure that it’s been answered correctly. If they no longer need other requirements from you, they will collect your payment for the processing fee. Then the staff will tell you to wait for up to a week while they process your visa extension. You may be able to request a rush processing, but this will come with an added fee.
👉 Once your visa extension is already approved, the Vietnam Immigration Office in Quang Ninh will call you to claim your passport. Check your passport and look for the stamp that indicates the new validity of your visa.
