On March 15 - 2020, Vietnam suspended the issue of new visas for all foreign nationals to curb the spread of coronavirus in the Southeast Asian nation. For those who have entered Vietnam and want to extend their stay, it is impossible to make a visa run, because once you have left Vietnam, you cannot enter again. Therefore, visa extension is the best option. So, how can you extend your visa during the current epidemic? Keep reading this article to know about the Vietnam Visa Extension.
 

Although the issuance of new visas has been temporarily banned, visitors who entered before March 15 can extend their visas to legally stay in Vietnam until the epidemic is controlled. Currently the visa extension is only available in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City, and must apply through a travel agency or visa agent. The procedure for making a visa extension will be a bit more difficult when applicants must provide their current address and travel history within the last 14 days. However, the application document only includes the original passport. The visa agent will help you carry out the necessary procedures to apply for a visa extension.
