Staying longer than the visa-free period?
- Apply for the 90-day e-Visa instead of using the exemption. It starts on the entry date you choose.
- Choose multiple entry if you will visit Cambodia, Laos or Thailand and come back.
- The visa-free stay cannot be extended inside Vietnam, so decide before you fly.
Good to know
- Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date.
