Can you apply 6-month visas in Vietnam?

From 24th August 2014, the Immigration Dept temporarily has stopped granting 6 months multiple visa. Therefore the maximum length you can apply is a 3 months multiple visa. Those with a 5-year Vietnam visa exemption certificate are permitted to stay in Vietnam for a maximum of 180 days per visit.

They can extend their visa in Vietnam if they want to stay longer than 180 days without leaving the country. The extended period can last up to 6 months.

The visa exemption certificate is valid for up to 05 years and expires at least 6 months before the holder's passport or equivalent paper expires.
