How to get a six month Retired Visa for Vietnam

Featured Replies

Hi everyone,

I have a french passport, 71 years old, most of the time single and I would like to get a 6 months Retired Visa for Vietnam with multiple entrees

Do anyone know how I can get it and what documents are needed

Also if someone knows if there is a forum like Thai Visa but for Vietnam where I could go and write a question

Thanks a lot to those who will take a few minuts of their life to reply and help

Cheers

go there on a tourist exempt and ask around when you are there.

i am also trying to find out all this stuff, and it is a nightmare.

most info on the net is totally out of date.

I am going there for a week 1st August to suss it all out.

I understand that most long term ex pats in Vietnam get a work permit, one way or another if you get my meaning.

Try www.expat.vn

 

Granted I was wanting to stay for a year without having to exit and reënter but maybe they can do something similar with multiple entries.

 

I asked them:

What is the least painful way to stay in Vietnam (DaNang or HCMC) long stay, around 1 year? I'm looking for something like a retirement visa, long stay in one place and little travel needed to extend time. I'm American age 73 currently retired in Thailand.

You can stay continuously for 1 year in Vietnam unless you change to a new passport or your passport expired that you need to get a new visa. Otherwise, you won't have to leave Vietnam.
 
Our offer is for 1 year approval letter for visa on arrival, tourist, multiple entry type. At the airport/ Vietnamese embassy, you'll present this approval letter to get a stamp on your passport, and usually, the stamping fee is 135 USD. Please note our fee is not included for this stamping fee.
 
Thanks,
