Vietnam Immigration Fees in 2026: Visas, TRCs and Extensions

A Vietnam temporary residence card (TRC) costs US$145 for up to 2 years, US$155 for over 2 to 5 years and US$165 for over 5 to 10 years. Circular 28/2026/TT-BTC, in force since 1 April 2026, sets these fees. A stay extension is US$10 and an e-visa US$25 single or US$50 multiple entry.

Which case are you?

• If you are extending a temporary stay → US$10 per extension. See extending a stay in Da Nang.
• If you are getting a temporary residence card → US$145 for up to 2 years of validity, US$155 for over 2 to 5 years, US$165 for over 5 to 10 years. See getting a card in Da Nang.
• If you are getting an e-visa → US$25 for a single-entry e-visa or US$50 for a multiple-entry e-visa. See the e-visa guide.
• If your visa or card is lost, damaged or no longer valid and has to be re-issued → the re-issue costs the same as a new one.

Still open: the dong amount on the day and which currency the counter takes at the Immigration Management Division, 78 Le Loi Street, Hai Chau.

The same $165 shows up twice

In the fee schedule attached to Circular 28/2026/TT-BTC, a visa and a card land on the same number. A multiple-entry visa valid for more than 5 years and up to 10 years costs US$165, and so does a temporary residence card (thẻ tạm trú) covering that same 5-to-10-year band.

“Loại có giá trị trên 05 năm đến 10 năm | 165 USD/chiếc” — “The [multiple-entry visa] type valid over 5 to 10 years: US$165 per visa.”

The circular behind every number here

Circular 28/2026/TT-BTC was signed in Hanoi on 27 March 2026 and took effect five days later, on 1 April 2026, replacing Circular 25/2021/TT-BTC and repealing Circular 62/2023/TT-BTC, the circular that had amended the 2021 one. So any guide that still quotes fees from either of those two is describing a schedule that no longer applies.

The Gazette record above shows the circular’s cover page and its effective-date header, while the fee table itself sits further into the document. The table below lists every row of Section II of that fee table.

Extending a stay: US$10 per extension

A temporary-stay extension (gia hạn tạm trú) costs US$10 per extension. That’s a different line item from a new visa: even the shortest multiple-entry visa, valid up to 90 days, costs US$50.

If you apply for an e-visa instead, its fees are separate from the extension fee: a single-entry e-visa costs 25 USD and a multiple-entry one 50 USD. You pay through the evisa.gov.vn e-payment gateway, and the fee is non-refundable if the visa is not granted.

How the extension itself works, including the sponsor’s role, is in extending a stay in Da Nang. E-visa holders who need more time should start from the e-visa guide.

No refund if conditions aren’t met; a reissue costs the same as a new one

Two rules apply to every fee in the foreigners’ section of the schedule, not just one line.

• The fee already collected is not refunded if an applicant does not meet the conditions for the visa or document applied for, or refuses to accept the result.
• If a visa, TRC or other document on this list is lost, damaged or no longer valid and must be re-issued, the re-issue costs the same as a new document.

Some people pay no fee at all: Article 5(1)(c) of the circular exempts cases covered by an international treaty Vietnam has signed or joined, or by reciprocity.

USD, dong, and what’s still unclear

The circular collects fees from foreigners in either Vietnamese dong or US dollars. Every figure above is set in USD. Each fee can be paid in USD, or in dong at an amount converted under clause 7, Article 3 of Decree 362/2025/NĐ-CP.

The circular points to that decree for the rate instead of stating it, and it does not say whether the Da Nang office takes dollars at the counter or works out the dong amount on the spot.

The Da Nang immigration office

The Immigration Management Division of the Da Nang City Police is at 78 Le Loi Street (Google Maps listing below). Who files an extension, and how, is covered in extending a stay in Da Nang.
