US TRAVELERS — VIETNAM EVISA — 2026

Vietnam Visa Ending Soon?
What US Travelers
Need to Know

If your Vietnam eVisa is running out and you're not ready to leave for good, here's an honest breakdown of your real options -- including what we can and can't help with.

Direct answer: ApplyEvisaVietnam.com processes eVisas only -- we don't handle in-country extensions directly with Vietnam Immigration. If your eVisa is ending and you're not ready to leave for good, your two real options are: apply directly at the Vietnam Immigration Department for an in-country extension, or exit to a neighboring country and apply for a fresh eVisa with us (as fast as 30-60 minutes, $215 USD).
Important: what you receive is the complete, fully approved eVisa -- not a temporary "approval letter." It must always be fully approved before you fly back to Vietnam.

Why This Comes Up for US Travelers

Even experienced travelers run into this. Common situations:

  • Forgetting to sort out a longer stay before your eVisa expires
  • Wanting to stay longer than your current eVisa allows
  • Underestimating how long standard processing takes for a new application
  • Flight changes that mean you need to re-enter sooner or later than planned

What We Can (and Can't) Help With

Important: ApplyEvisaVietnam.com is an eVisa processing service. We do not process in-country visa extensions with Vietnam Immigration directly, and we can't quote extension fees, since that process happens entirely outside our service.
In-Country Extension

Apply directly at the Vietnam Immigration Department (Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City) to extend your stay without leaving.

Handled directly with Immigration -- confirm current fees and requirements with them, or a licensed extension service. Not something we process.

Border Run + New eVisa

Exit to a neighboring country -- Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, or Singapore are common choices -- then apply for a fresh eVisa before re-entering Vietnam.

This is where we help -- we process the new eVisa application, including urgent tiers if your timeline is tight.

Step-by-Step: Border Run + New eVisa

1
Exit Vietnam before your current eVisa expires

Common choices for Americans: Bangkok (Thailand), Phnom Penh (Cambodia), Vientiane (Laos), or Singapore.

2
Contact us and submit your new application

Full name (as on passport), passport number and validity, desired re-entry date and port, and your preferred processing speed.

3
Pay securely

By Visa or Mastercard. Processing begins once payment is confirmed.

4
Receive your fully approved eVisa by email

Wait for this before booking your return -- then save it to your phone, and print a copy if you'd like extra peace of mind.

If You've Already Overstayed

Contact Vietnam Immigration or a licensed service directly about your specific situation as soon as possible. Overstay penalties and how to resolve them are set and handled by Immigration, not by an eVisa processing service -- we can't advise on fine amounts or how to minimize them, and it's best not to wait, since delays typically make the situation more complicated.

Tips for US Travelers

  • Check your eVisa's expiration date at least a week in advance
  • Use urgent processing for genuine time pressure, not as a routine habit -- standard processing ($50 USD) is more cost-effective when you have the time

  • Save our contact info (WhatsApp +84 987121355) in case you need us again

FAQ

Does ApplyEvisaVietnam.com process visa extensions? +

No. We process eVisas only -- we don't handle in-country extensions directly with Vietnam Immigration. If you need more time, apply directly at the Vietnam Immigration Department, or do a border run for a fresh eVisa, which we can help with.

How fast can a new eVisa actually be processed? +

As fast as 30-60 minutes for $215 USD, if all documents are correct and payment is confirmed promptly. If delivery misses your committed timeframe, the processing fee is refunded 100%.

What if I've already overstayed my visa? +

Contact Vietnam Immigration or a licensed service directly about your specific situation as soon as possible. Overstay penalties and how to resolve them are set and handled by Immigration, not by an eVisa processing service -- we can't advise on fine amounts or how to minimize them.

Can I apply on weekends or holidays? +

Yes, through the dedicated Weekend/Holiday tier ($230 USD), since the government portal itself is closed on those days.
