Very interesting post! I was just searching for information concerning Business Visas for Vietnam!
Answer to BusinessVisa,
The process of getting a Vietnam business visa is not so different with tourist visa. If you travel by air, you just visit our site http://www.vietnam-visa.com, apply online and make the payment. We will send you an confirmation email right after receiving your payment. You will receive your approval letter after 2-3 days (normal service)or within 1 day (urgent service)(except Saturday and Sunday).

I would like to reconfirm:
Note:
- Tourists can stay over 1 day in Vietnam from expired date of their Vietnam visa. If tourist wants to stay over longer, they should be renew or extend Vietnam visa.
Is this applied on foreign tourist (tourist visa) only or included business or internship visa?
Answer to Thymt:
Thank you for contacting us!
Please be kindly informed that you can stay over 1 day in Vietnam from the expired date as long as you have booked flight for that day already.
Kindly regards,

Tourists can stay over 1 day in Vietnam from expired date of their Vietnam visa. If tourist wants to stay 2 days due to the flight schedule (I ordered the ticket before I know I can only stay for 30 days), they should be renew or extend Vietnam visa? Thanks
any penalty if a tourist wants to stay additional 2 days after the expired date of their Vietnam Visa?
@ To Julie:
Thank you for contacting us!
You will have to pay for a penalty of around USD 25 at the airport when exit the country for additional 2-day stay after your visa expiration date.
Kind regards,
Anna Quach
Did you overstay 2 days and only get a penalty of $25 dollars?
I have a group of 47 people with me and they made a mistake and gave us the wrong dates, so now we are staying over 2 days since our flight leaves 2 days after our visas expire.
I want to make sure it’s around that so we can budget for it.
Dear Andrew,
As normally, the fine that you have to pay at the airport could be 10$ for 1 day overstay paid at the airport. However, in some cases, the fine could be much higher if your overstay is too long.
Kindly regards,
Bella Bui
