Thinking About
Extending Your
Vietnam eVisa?

Here's an honest guide to your real options -- including exactly what we can and can't help with as an eVisa-only service.

Direct answer: ApplyEvisaVietnam.com processes eVisas only -- we don't handle in-country extensions directly with Vietnam Immigration. If you need more time in Vietnam, your two real options are applying directly at the Vietnam Immigration Department, or doing a border run and applying for a fresh eVisa with us.

Why Irish Travelers Look Into This

Your Vietnam eVisa is valid up to 90 days, but travel plans change. You might want to stay longer for tourism, business, or family reasons, or simply because you're enjoying Vietnam more than expected. Whatever the reason, sort this out before your current eVisa expires -- overstaying can mean fines, and in more serious cases, further consequences.

What We Can (and Can't) Help With

Important: ApplyEvisaVietnam.com is 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, and we can't quote extension fees or timelines, 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 current stay without leaving the country.

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

Border Run + New eVisa

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

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

If You Choose an In-Country Extension

Since this is processed directly by Vietnam Immigration rather than through us, confirm the exact current requirements with them or a licensed extension service. Generally, expect to need:

  • A valid Irish passport
  • Your current eVisa or entry stamp
  • Their extension application form
  • A recent passport photo
  • Payment for their extension fee (confirm the current amount directly with them)
Be cautious: some unofficial agents advertise extension processing with vague or bundled pricing. Get exact, itemized fees in writing, and confirm any provider is genuinely licensed before paying.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

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.

What documents do I need for an in-country extension? +

This is handled directly by Vietnam Immigration, so confirm the current required documents with them or a licensed extension service -- typically your passport, current visa/entry stamp, a photo, and their application form, but requirements can change.

Is it better to extend in-country or do a border run? +

It depends on your situation. An in-country extension avoids travel but means dealing directly with Immigration. A border run gives you a fresh eVisa and doubles as a short trip -- something we can help with.

What happens if I let my visa expire while sorting this out? +

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