What should I do if I'm waiting for my DTV visa results while my Vietnam visa is expiring soon?
Applying the DTV from HCMC and still waiting the results after providing the requested documents. My visa in Vietnam will be expired on 22 Mar 2026. Anyone who has experienced to extend the visa ? Or could the result receive before expire my visa. And I notice that I need to know the result this Friday, 20 Mar 2026 as they are not working on weekend, Am I right?

You can’t extend the e-visa inside Vietnam but you typically can go for a one day visa run (leaving in the morning, back in the evening with a new visa).

I had a similar experience and they sped it up when I was close to the date I was supposed to go to Thailand.
They are aware but if it’s really rough they aren’t going to budge.
