Does anyone know if the 5 year visa are still being renewed?

With e-visa being only visa most people can get for VN, wondering if the government is still renewing the 5 year visa when the time comes for me to renew? Still planning to retire in VN after my dog passes away and I still have about 2 years left on my 5 year visa. Appreciate any info.

@OceanBeach92107 Thanks! Yes, I guess it's the VEC.

@colinoscapee Yes, I'm Vietnamese American, born in VN.

Thanks

Do you not have VN citizenship?  If you don't can't you get it back?  I would have thought you didn't need any visa or VEC since you were born in country.  That said it's only $10 for a five year VEC so the cost isn't high.

Also if you did give up citizenship does that mean you can't buy land?

I don't know about today but back in the mid-late 70's, everyone goes to the same prison. Women & children were segregated in a section and men and teens were jailed together. My entire family were caught trying to escape VN and we were all thrown into the same prison. I was about 6 so I was with the girls & women. My brother who was probably over 10 were jailed with the men. These juveniles will probably go to prison with the adults.

@SteinNebraska I don't have any paperwork showing I was born in VN. My parents are gone and we don't have much relatives back in VN. Don't know the street my parent's house was in Saigon or the farm my parents owned so we can lay low while we tried to escape. I tried reaching out to a couple of an agencies including Duong Global but they needed info and also the Vietnamese Consulate in SF needed info also which I cannot provide. We thought we might have the deed to the farm that my parents owned but unfortunately it's lost so no proof of residency. One person I know said they know someone who can get me citizenship in Nha Trang but I don't want to go through that shady route.
