What to do if overstaying on a visa exemption?
May 02, 2017
I plan on flying into Hanoi around 25th July 2017. I am a UK citizen, and a previous post from you or your colleague indicates I am exempt from needing a visa if my passport is valid for 6+ months and I am not going to be in Vietnam for over 15 days. is that correct, as I thought the visa exemption period ends on 30th June 2017?
Assuming the above is correct...I do not actually know how long I will be in Vietnam for - it could be under 15 days, or if I like it a lot, then more than 15 days, Can I just enter the country without a visa, and then if I decide later that I want to be there for longer than 15 days, then apply for a visa somewhere? Or should I just get a visa in advance or upon arrival?

Dear Sir/Madam,
We would like to confirm you that according to the Vietnam Immigration's new policy, from July 1, 2015 to June 30th 2017, Great Britain, France, Spain, German, Italy and Belarus no need Visa if they stay in Vietnam less than 15 days. However, the previous visit must be far from the next visit at least 30 days.
In this case, you should contact us again in June to see if you can get the visa exemption or not.
Regards,
Anna Lily (Ms.)
