@ Elinor,

In your case you had better apply for 3 months single/ multiple entry to avoid extending which takes you time and money and tourist visa is good for your case. Furthermore, please note that 1 month single entry costs you $21( service fee) and 3 month single entry costs you $35 ( service fee). You also need to pay $25 for service fee for these 2 kinds of visa.

hi, myself and two friends are travelling to vietnam in January 2012 to do a Medical elective in Cho ray hospital, ho chi minh city. we will essentially be shadowing the doctors at the hospital but not getting paid, and then travelling around afterwards. Would this be a tourist visa that we would need for this?

Also we are not sure how long we will be staying so are we ok to get 1month in advance and extend it whilst we are there? How much would the extension cost?
or what is the price difference between the 1month and 3months-would it be better to get the 3month visa straight off (we will definitely only be in vietnam for a maximum of 6 weeks) and save the extra administration fees

thanks very much for your help.

Dear IIavi,
If you first enter Vietnam by air, you had better apply for multiple entry visa at our website: vietnam-visa.com and we do not require you any document for this. You just need to fill in the form online and make the payment so that you can get visa approval letter and get stamped visa at Vietnam airport. For this multiple entry you just need to travel by air for the first entry to Vietnam to get visa stamped at the airport, other times you can travel by any means of transports.
Should you travel to Vietnam by land for the first time, you are suggested to apply for visa at Vietnam Embassy in any places which are convenient for you.

Regards,
Susan Nguyen

Hello, my family & me are travelling to Ho Chi Minh City in October, 2011. We would like to take the bus route to Siem Reap for 4 days & come back to Ho Chi Minh as our return flight is out of HCMC. Do we need to apply for multiple entry visas ? What documents are required to apply for multiple entry visa ? Are visa requirements different at the road check points ? Thank you.

@ QLe,

Please inform you that according to the new regulation, 3 months visa is considered as the longest visa then in your case you should apply for 3 months visa and then extend for 3 months more. After that you should leave Vietnam and come back with a new visa.

Susan Nguyen

@ Leoanrd Ocampo,
In this case, your friend had better change his visa into student visa at Vietnam Immigration. Also please inform you that you only should extend your visa one time since for the second time it is very complex and costly.

Best regards,

To whom this may concern,

This is to ask for an advice regarding my friend’s situation:

He had a 30 day single entry visa from the Vietnam Embassy in Vietnam and flew in Ho Chi Minh City on January 8, then, he flew to Hanoi afterwards.

His 30 day visa will expire on February 8, and since Tet is coming, we decided to look for an agent to renew his visa and applied for a 3-month single entry visa. Accordingly, his visa will expire on April 24 ( Sunday).

My friend would wish not to exit Vietnam on the 24th of April, and wants to stay in Hanoi for another 3 months.

1. Can we have it extended again for another 3 months (single entry) ( April 24 to July 24)?
2. What is the best option in this situation?

When we searched the internet, we happen to see an overland exit from Hanoi to Laos through bus.

If this is the case, can he exit in Laos first, and return to Vietnam after? Can he apply for a 3 month single entry visa again?

We need to advise so badly so we can plan in advance and anticipate whatever might happen in the future.
