The first question that foreigners often have when it comes to getting their visa extended or renewed is where to apply? Applying for a visa extension or renewal in Vietnam can be done at any of the Immigration Offices in Vietnam. The good news is, there are several Immigration Offices all over the country so there is really no need for you to travel far just to get a visa extension or renewal. Aside from the Vietnam Immigration Office in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, there are immigration offices in more than 60 cities all over the country.
So the first thing that you need to do when getting a visa extension or renewal is to find out if there is an immigration office near the place you reside. You will find this information from the website of Vietnam Immigration. The website will also provide the address and contact number of the office. You will also find information on which days they are open and their time of operation.
Call the office in advance to find out the requirements that you need to bring for your visa extension or renewal application. Usually, they would require you to bring the original copy of your passport. If you have a visa, bring a copy of your visa as well. There is also a fee for applying for a visa extension or renewal and the fees would vary. So it is best to call the office in advance so you will know how much money to bring.
