Vietnam E-Visa / Business Visa (no dedicated nomad visa): Renewal

What renewing the Vietnam E-Visa / Business Visa (no dedicated nomad visa) involves, and where it leads long-term.

Verified Aug 2026 · Vietnam's official e-visa portal terms and the 2014 Law on Entry, Exit, Transit and Residence

E-visa "renewal" genuinely means reapplying for a brand-new e-visa, not extending the current one — there is no in-country extension mechanism for the e-visa at all, confirmed directly by Vietnamese immigration policy. If Vietnam is meant to be a longer-term base rather than a shorter stay, it's worth comparing directly against Thailand's DTV or another Southeast Asian country with a purpose-built nomad program, since Vietnam genuinely doesn't have one as of 2026.
