Where can I renew my visa in HCMC?
As of 2025, there are two main options for renewing your visa in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). You can either hire a travel agency to manage the process for you or handle it yourself. Service fees typically range from $50 to $200, depending on the duration of your extension or renewal and the type of visa (single entry or multiple entry) you require.
Processing times generally take about 5 working days. If you opt to do it yourself, the first step is to download the application form for visa renewal, replacement, or modification, as well as for extending the length of your stay. You can find the form, referred to as Form N14/M, on the official immigration website. After filling in the form, attach it to your passport and submit both in person to the Immigration Office.
