Market context
In 2025 and 2026, many travelers in Ho Chi Minh City have reported stricter handling of visa overstays, including:
Instead of simply paying at the airport, travelers are being sent to the District 3 immigration office.
Immigration may request a formal explanation of why the overstay occurred.
Cases can take longer than expected, especially at busy times.
Many travelers discover these procedures only after arriving at the airport and cannot communicate with officers.
Some travelers experience delays before being cleared to leave Vietnam.
Rules are applied inconsistently — having a local contact who knows the current procedures makes a major difference.
