Hello,
Situation: When I lived in Ho Chi minh City, extending my VEC for another 3 months(Now 6 months) was an easy process with the N5 form. Landlord and polic stamp plus 200k got me another stamp.
In Hanoi, doesn't seem that simple. I went to immigration today and it was pretty much a nightmare. I know about the whole tea money thing but really don't feel comfortable speaking Vietnamese even though I am overseas Vietnamese. If 200k tip would assure my extension, I wouldn't mind paying but the woman was such a b*tch to me, it didn't seem like I even had the option.
So, can anyone here verify the extension process is possible for a overseas VN in Hanoi without family, just landlord info??
