Visas & Documents

Can you extend a Vietnam visa without leaving the country?

Vietnam does not allow visa extensions — you must leave the country and apply for a new one. A common option is a visa run to the Lao Bao border crossing to get a new 30/45/90-day visa.

Do Vietnam immigration officers require proof of onward travel at the border?

Vietnam border officials, including land crossings, may ask for proof of onward travel. A bus ticket to a neighboring country (e.g., Vietnam to Cambodia) is accepted as sufficient proof.
