Visa advise by shenpa

I understand that you can get a 90 day visa for Vietnam which you apply for online. So after the 90 days you must leave the country to renew it? How do you actually renew it though? Do you have to apply online again and wait in the other country? ...

@Aidan in HCMC So people apply online in Vietnam before they leave to do the visa run and they take a print out of a letter? Is that correct? On the evisa website should you put your Vietnam address? I presume that could work against you? Read More
