3 days late cost me 1 mil about 2 years ago, when they check your visa they will fine you when you try and leave the country.

I've heard the official figure is supposed to be 600,000 VND a day, about $30 day.     Keep $300 handy , but don't show it.   

Give your best dumb & innocent look and offer less.

If you intend to renew your expired visa, just approach some agent and pay $25 (for 1 or 2 days. In your case you should keep up to $150) for overstay plus the extension fee.
Illegal stay may lead to deportation!!
If you go directly to renew, may be they ask so many questions and more money  :)

Thanks guys, appreciate it :D
How about i catch a flight to hk in the next few days for a number of other reasons, i would like to know if anyone has had this problem  in the past six month.
What is the worst that could happen if i am only holding 2-3million ?

Mate,  they could lock you up until someone pays.
If your deported and its marked on your passport, you may have problems getting into oth3r countries.
Try charmas option first.

You make a good point plus not worth the risk i will try charmas suggestion.
I will do this first thing monday morning.

We cannot predict the then mentality of the officials  :)
One of my acquaintance who is an African guy( discrimination has no limit if your skin is black!!) get into similar situation and approached the immigration office directly. They threatened him to deport unless he pay a high fine than usual. He called me and ask opinion. I suggest the same and it worked.

He could pull the race card, or ask Jessie Jackson and al sharpton to intervene.
