According to the content of the notice, foreign citizens who enter Vietnam with visa-free entry, electronic visa entry, or tourist visa entry from March 1, 2020 can “automatically extend their temporary residence right” until August 31, 2020. Foreign citizens can leave Vietnam before August 31 without a visa extension.
Sometimes you realize as business personnel that the time allocated to you according to the visa is not sufficient. As a result, you may want to elongate that period.
