Vietnam Visa UK

Hi all,

I am running out of time on my two weeks visa and wondering what happens at the boarder/airportwhen you leave Vietnam after overstaying? I assume there is a fine but how much is it? Is there any other consequences?

Many thanks

Best Answer chosen:

The Immigration Police will deny your departure and requests you to get a new visa in Hanoi or Saigon. If your visa is type D it can be a big problem and take 5-7 working days to obtain a new one and the fine for overstaying is not cheap (about 40$US) so you end up paying more or less than 100$US.

So you need to get a new visa and most travel agencies can handle it for about 60$US to 100$US depending on number of days it take. You can’t leave Vietnam with an overstayed visa, this is a confirmed info from at least three of my clients.
