Trà Vinh is a coastal province located in the southern part of Vietnam. At the edge of its capital city, lies the ancient Âng Pagoda, one of the hundreds of Khmer pagodas that can be found in the area. The Khmer Minority People’s Museum can also be found nearby. This museum showcases the local Khmer culture. Another popular attraction in Tra Vinh Province is the Ba Om Pond, a scenic pond surrounded by hundreds of trees, home to a wide variety of birds. On the south of Trà Vinh City is where the Nôdol Pagoda is located. This pagoda is also known as the Stork Pagoda due to the storks that live there.
Given the many interesting sights in Tra Vinh, hundreds of foreigners would come to visit this place each year. For foreigners who are in the area and would like to get their visa extended and renewed, they can simply go to the Vietnam Immigration Office in Tra Vinh.
Tourists who have a Vietnam tourist visa that’s going to expire in a few days should request a visa extension if they wanted to stay longer in Tra Vinh. With a visa extension, the Immigration authorities will extend the validity of your visa. Here’s how to apply for the visa extension:
Another option for foreigners who would like to stay in Vietnam for a long time is to apply for a visa renewal. With this option, a new visa will be issued to you. This new visa will allow you to stay in Vietnam for a longer period. Here’s how you can get a visa renewal in Tra Vinh:
With the visa extension, the validity of your original visa will be extended and you are required to exit Vietnam before your original visa expires. But with the visa renewal, there’s no need to exit the country since a new visa will be issued to you immediately. This is why the visa renewal is usually more expensive to apply for compared to the visa extension.
With the visa renewal, you get to choose the type of visa that you wanted to apply for. But you do not have this option with the visa extension. In addition, if you will request a visa extension, you can only get the visa extended for the same validity period or less. For example, if you are holding a 30-day tourist visa, then you can only extend this visa for 30 more days or less. Also, you can only request a visa extension twice. If you’ve already extended the visa twice, your third request will no longer be approved.
