With over 80 immigration offices around the country it’s impossible to know each of their own peculiar takes on certain rules etc. That’s why we usually tell people to go to their own office and find out the specific requirements for an extension from that office.

probably best to start your own post on this one rather than hijack another post.

The ETA requirement has been postponed. No one knows yet when or if it will be implemented.

The old rule of two exempt entries by land per calendar year vanished on July 15th this year when they changed visa exempt entries to 60 days.

Now there isn’t an official rule of how many land, air or sea entries you can do a year but entry is at the discretion of the officer you hand you passport to.

Perhaps check the user guide on the front page.

Here’s a link.

You’re confusing a Non OA visa and a Non O visa/extension off of one.

With the initial Non OA you get stamped in for a full year or as long as your health insurance is valid until. This means that if you bounce out just before the visa expires and have a new insurance policy for a year then you’d be stamped in for a “second” year. This stamp is not multiple entry and you’d need a re-entry permit to keep that date alive.

Most Non O visas these days are 90 validity and single entry. You’d be stamped in for 90 days and could then extend that for one year. This extension is not multiple entry so again you’d need a re-entry permit to keep the stamp valid.

It costs £150 from the UK (OP can’t get it when in Vietnam) so it’s going to be an expensive option to obtain.

@Olie ******

an “onward ticket” service will work for about $15

With 60 days entry with no visa the reason for a multiple entry visa is not really that valid anymore

Multiple entry can only be applied for in your home country or country of legal residence.
