Can I extend my Vietnam eVisa?

Yes, you can extend a Vietnam eVisa, but the process must be done within Vietnam. You need to contact either a local visa agent or the Vietnam Immigration Office before your visa expires. The extension process allows you to stay longer in the country without leaving, though it can take several days and may require submitting your passport for processing.
