Why Australians End Up Needing This
Realizing your Vietnam visa is about to expire — or that your current one already has — is stressful. The most common situations:
- Forgot to plan ahead — only realizing close to your visa's expiry date
- Travel plans changed — you now need to stay longer than planned
- Business or personal emergencies requiring you to remain in Vietnam past your original departure
Important: Vietnam Doesn't Allow In-Country Extension Through Us
ApplyEvisaVietnam.com processes eVisas only. We don't file in-country extensions with Vietnam Immigration on a client's behalf. If your visa is running out, the practical route is:
- Exit Vietnam to a neighboring country
- Apply for a new eVisa while there
- Re-enter Vietnam on the new eVisa
Common routes for Australians include:
- Thailand (Bangkok)
- Cambodia (Phnom Penh or Siem Reap)
- Laos (Vientiane)
- Singapore
This is sometimes called a "visa run." Alternatively, applying in person at the Vietnam Immigration Department in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City is a separate real option, but not something we process directly — contact them for current requirements if you'd prefer not to leave the country.
A Word on "1-Hour" Processing
The 30-60 minute timeframe refers specifically to how fast we can process your new eVisa once you've applied — it's genuinely fast because it's an online process we control. It does not mean your entire trip out and back to Vietnam takes an hour. You'll also need time to physically travel to and from the neighboring country, which varies significantly depending on your route and location in Vietnam.

Choosing Your Processing Speed

FAQ
Can I extend my visa inside Vietnam without leaving? +
Not through us -- we process eVisas only. Applying at the Vietnam Immigration Department in person is a separate, real option we don't handle directly. The route we can help with is a border run: exit Vietnam, get a new eVisa, and re-enter.
Does "1-hour" mean my whole trip out and back takes 1 hour? +
No -- the 30-60 minutes refers to how fast we can process your new eVisa once you've applied. Your actual round trip also includes travel time to and from the neighboring country, which varies by route.
Is this service legitimate? +
Yes -- your new eVisa is the same official, government-issued document as any standard application. You can verify it yourself at evisa.gov.vn/e-visa/search.
What if I'm already at the airport about to board? +
If your current eVisa is still valid, this isn't relevant to you. If it has already expired, you cannot board -- you would need to resolve your status with Vietnam Immigration before any travel, not from the airport.
