Applications to extend a person’s stay in the country must include a passport, a declaration form, papers proving the person has the right to be in Vietnam, a medical declaration, and payment of fees according to regulations set out by the Ministry of Finance.
The process will take the Immigration Department five working days to return the results from the date of receiving a complete and valid dossier, with the this policy set to be in place from March 30 to April 30.
It is the responsibility of embassies and consulates to manage citizens who have had their rights protected by the latest policy whilst co-ordinating alongside Vietnamese authorities to deal with citizen-related issues when necessary.
For cases regarding foreign nationals seeking to enter the country for the purpose of business, work, or for diplomatic reasons, embassies and consulates are required to guide citizens to contact the necessary agencies, organisations, and inpiduals in accordance with the Law on Entry, Exit, Transit, and Residence of Foreigners in Vietnam.
Moreover, any inpiduals who overstays their visa for less than 10 days as a result of a force majeure may be considered for exemption from administrative fines providing they have the correct papers and supporting documents.
