Hey expat team: Neil here from New Zealand, apologies on making enquiries on well covered ground again .. but. Visas Intention is to move/retire to Vietnam, with the likelyhood being 9 months in Vietnam and three months back here. Ongoing. Finding and receiving conflicting advise on the visa options/process. The Vietnamese Embassy in NZ tells me that i move there on a three months visitors visa but have to exit the country to extend that for an additional three months. The three month extension can not be granted in Vietnam. This does not seem to be the same as the information from other sources, which indicate we can apply from within Vietnam for a three month extension and that it can be done at a travel agents! Help please, whats the process? How do we stay for an extended period of say nine months in every 12 Do we have to leave every three months, do we have to leave every six months, do we have to leave at all Neil Much more to make enquiries about, but first things first. Can we get in and how long can we stay for

Depends on where you are in the country. It seems that in the north you can get visas that are unavailable in the south. 3-months is what they are quoting for the south.
