I'm currently on a visa exemption with a Vietnamese passport. Am I still able to apply for an extension? Before October 2023, I couldn't, but they lifted the restriction. I just want to confirm if I can still extend my stay. Many thanks.
Answer summary
The ability to extend your stay on a visa exemption with a Vietnamese passport depends on whether you were stamped in with a 'visa exempt' status, which allows for an extension, or a 'visa waiver,' which does not. Both statuses allow for a 30-day stay, but different terms may apply on the stamp you received.

Visa exemption and tourist visa both allow a single 1-month extension

It depends on if they stamped you in with visa exempt (can get an extension) or visa waiver (cannot get an extension).

They are both 30 days but there will be different writing on the stamp.

like I said, it depends on the stamp in your passport. If they gave you visa exempt you can extend. If they gave you visa waiver you cannot. You need to look at your passport and figure out which one you got because a vietnamese passport qualifies for both. If you have any questions you can always ask the immigration office and see if they'll give you an extension.
