How to do a visa run from Da Nang Vietnam to extend your stay in 2026?

When applying for a visa through an agency, an emergency activation service is available for already-submitted applications — the application is reviewed on a priority basis, faster than both standard and express processing.

An alternative to the sleeper bus is a VIP door-to-door transfer for the visa run. Features leather seats, reclining chairs, individual air conditioning, and a quiet cabin. Documents are checked before departure and the organiser handles all visa paperwork. Breakfast is included.

Sleeper bus visa run via the Lao Bao border crossing is the easiest option in 2026. The format is straightforward: book a seat, board, cross the border, return. Buses are equipped with Wi-Fi and power outlets, with optional meal packages. Over 7,000 successful border crossings reported on this route.

A single visa run allows you to obtain a new visa valid for 45 or 90 days. Key point: Vietnam does not offer in-country visa extensions — you must exit and re-enter to get a new visa.

Vietnam e-visas can be applied for independently or through an agency. Standard processing takes 7 business days; express processing takes 1 business day. Both single-entry and multiple-entry e-visas are available for up to 90 days.

If your bank card is declined on the official e-visa portal, some local agencies offer to process the payment on your behalf using their own card, as a paid service.
