🔁 1. How to Extend Vietnam Visa for Dutch Passport Holders

As of 2025, Vietnam does not allow online visa extensions for e-visas. If you’re already in Vietnam and need more time:

• Visit an immigration office or work with a local visa agent

• Most e-visas (30 days, single entry) cannot be extended online

• Extension fees range from $50–$150, depending on visa type and agent

💡 Tip: If you’re planning to stay longer, consider visa runs or exit and re-apply.

• Wait at least 24–48 hours after your previous e-visa expires or you exit Vietnam
