Vietnam eVisa Ending Soon?
What Irish Travelers
Need to Know

If your Vietnam eVisa is running out and you're not ready to leave, 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 visa is ending, your two real options are: apply directly at the Vietnam Immigration Department for an in-country extension, or take a short trip to a neighboring country and apply for a fresh eVisa with us. Extension fees vary and should be confirmed directly with Immigration -- we can't quote them as we don't process them ourselves.

Why This Comes Up

Irish travelers may find their Vietnam eVisa isn't quite enough time if they:

  • Extended their trip for tourism, business, or family reasons
  • Want to avoid leaving the country just to reset their visa
  • Are enjoying Vietnam more than expected and want to stay longer

Whatever the reason, address this before your current eVisa expires -- overstaying can mean fines, and in more serious cases, further consequences.

What ApplyEvisaVietnam.com Can (and Can't) Help With

Important: we are an eVisa processing service -- we submit and manage eVisa applications through the standard official channel. We do not process in-country visa extensions with Vietnam Immigration directly, and we can't quote you a specific extension fee, since that process happens entirely outside our service.

If you need more time in Vietnam, there are two genuine paths:

Option 1: Border Run + New eVisa

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

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

Option 2: In-Country Extension

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

This is handled directly with Immigration -- confirm current fees, required documents, and processing times with them or a licensed extension service, not through us.

Which Option Makes Sense for You?

  • Want to visit a neighboring country anyway? A border run doubles as a mini-trip, and gives you a completely fresh eVisa.
  • Prefer not to travel right now? An in-country extension keeps you in Vietnam, but means dealing directly with Immigration rather than an eVisa service like ours.
  • Short on time? Our urgent eVisa tiers (30 minutes to 1 day) can get a new eVisa issued quickly if you choose the border-run route.

Be Careful With "Extension Agencies"

Some agencies advertise extension processing with vague or bundled pricing. Since this process happens entirely outside standard eVisa channels, it's worth being cautious:

  • Get exact, itemized fees in writing before paying anyone
  • Confirm whether a provider is genuinely licensed to handle extensions
  • Be wary of unusually low quotes -- hidden fees sometimes appear later

FAQ

Can ApplyEvisaVietnam.com extend my visa for me? +

No. We process eVisas only -- we don't handle in-country extensions directly with Vietnam Immigration. For an extension, you'd need to apply directly at the Vietnam Immigration Department, or do a border run for a fresh eVisa instead.

How much does a Vietnam visa extension actually cost? +

This depends entirely on current Vietnam Immigration Department fees and your specific situation, and isn't something we can quote as an eVisa-only service. Confirm current fees directly with the Immigration Department or a licensed extension service.

Is a border run or an in-country extension better? +

It depends on your situation. A border run gives you a fresh eVisa (which we can help with), while an in-country extension avoids travel but requires dealing directly with Vietnam Immigration. Weigh cost, convenience, and how much time you have.

What happens if my visa expires before I sort this out? +

Overstaying can result in fines, and in some cases more serious consequences. Address your visa status before it expires, not after.
