I don't care about the cost at all. How much risk is involved with the overstay route? I've been waiting for 3 months to get back into VN, and I don't want to cause myself any problems.

If I go to immigration, do I for sure qualify for the Covid extension? Just explain that I came for surgery, and it's difficult to re-enter Vietnam because of Covid? How strict are they about it?

It was emphasized to me that you must have something explicitly saying your insurance covers Covid up to a minimum of 100K.

@Len ********

great, thanks for this info!

@Ronald ********

I ask myself the same thing every time, but do I learn?

@Mick ********

Where was this reported? I heard there was going to be an upcoming decision/announcement, but haven't seen it yet.

Fit to Fly isn't a test. A doctor will ask you some questions, look you over and decide if you're healthy enough to fly. RT-PCR is the test.

Yep, many don't even answer their phones, or if they do, aren't helpful. Some even give incorrect info...!

David Broadfoot Alright, but the resumption of issuing the TR visa, with specific Covid related requirements, is new/recent, just started a month or so ago. Before that the STV was the only way to get in as a tourist, and it had heavier financial requirements and was offered only to select countries that had Covid somewhat under control. With the current TR visa many countries that were left off the STV are now able to enter, the financial burden is lowered and it's being processed pretty quickly. Apparently they're going all in with getting tourism somewhat restarted.

@Jay ****

This is a new visa (TR) that people are getting from outside the country, for 60 days with the possibility of extending for 30 more.
