Firstly, sorry to ask ANOTHER question about visa extensions, but I fell like I'm trying to do a jigsaw without the picture. "Welcome to Vietnam laws" is the cry. Yes I know.
So, we arrived on the 17th Jan 2015 and our DN visa is up for renewal on the 17th April. After the laws changed in January we were fully expecting to have to leave the country to get a new visa, as the in-country extension stamping had apparently been abolished.
Now though, our friend's Philippino nanny has spoken to her agent and he said that we no longer have to leave the country, if we arrived in 2015. I'm not sure if he thinks we're from the Philippines and this rule only applies to them, or what. Who knows.
I'm not worried about costs at this point, I just want to know if anyone actually knows if we have to leave the country or not now? Tea money aside, I'm looking for what is actually expected.
Thanks in advance.
Ben
