Thanks Steve. So the original visa is still "good"? No need to apply for another visa, but I need to apply for another extension?

Paul James. It does take some time to do the evisa and with the page you print off you must still give it to a teller with your passport for them to stamp it. They still do put a relatively small Visa stamp in your page. Is the VOA a big one?
