How do i extend my vietnam visa now??
Answer:
Technically, your visa gives you permission to stay in Vietnam and should not stop you from leaving even if expired or lost. My grandma's Vietnam visa was expired over a year and her paperwork was lost too. A small payoff, and she was cleared for departure to the U.S. I guess you can call it one of the perks for visiting a country where government officials will take payoffs.
I had similar troubles with my visa extension. I was extending my visa through what I though were the proper channels. It expired and I took a load of cow dung by the local official that was to extend my visa in the first place. That in mind, don't go to a Viet official or Vietnam government agency to extend your visa.
Go to the nearest tourist center or a trusted travel agency. They deal with issues like this all the time, and already have the connections needed to extend your visa. They can clear things up and get you back on track usually within a couple days and a few bucks for their effort.
In the meantime, you're going to find it hard to travel around the country. Most hotels will want your visa or a copy of it while you stay there. There's no sense in making a bad situation worse, so stay put until you get your visa extension and paperwork in order.
Worst case scenario is go to the U.S. embassy or consulate to get help. Do this if the tourist center a travel agency cannot help you. Odds are that you will get everything cleared up through the tourist center or travel agency without much problem.
