Mine was only issued for 3 months...
From what I,ve read from other posts, the multi entry is much more expensive than single entry

Technically, that's true, but you know as well as I do that finding a school that will support you can be difficult.
I found this quote from a recent article about foreigners working in Hanoi w/o work permits a bit interesting:
I suggest 大咖福利影院 vietnam forum be a genuine 'expat' blog.
Take a look at Dave's forum.All expats or planners.
It seems this site has been flooded with non expats wanting
A. Free English practice.
B. Free advertising.
C. Free 'meet a foreigner' venue.

Marjorie, why are vietnamese nationals accepted here as expats? If they live in their own country how can they be expats?

Shhh.
It's clickbait.And 'visa extensions' is a perfect topic for reading about who is doing visa extensions.And I'm sure since the New decree came into force,extending a visa was not a legal option.Disregarding VEC.And with a work permit,there is no visa.It's a residency card.

The laws are determined by the official who you are dealing with, there is no such thing as the law being followed by every official in the same way, it just doesn't happen.

I paid $110 for 3 mth single DL.聽 I've heard others getting $90.聽
When they were quoting $280, most people I know here took a holiday to PP or Snooky.聽 So the agents got nothing except a lot of bad publicity for Vietnam toursim which is already hurting them. I've never seen Nha Trang as quiet as it is now.聽
Since I'm not heading away again for an extension, I'll be loading my bike up and heading off into the hills and back across to the coast for a few days.聽 A few hotels and restaurants in Vietnam will get my business instead of the mob in neighbouring countries.聽 聽
Seems simple doesn't it.?聽 聽Keeping the customers they've already got spending on their side of the border.

Yogi, Can you tell me the name, address and phone number of that agent?聽 聽On March 28 MikeQT posted that he got his 3 month single DL extension for $90 from Thuan Viet Travel in Nha Trang, but when my VN g/f rang them she was quoted $150.聽 聽Did you use this agent?
I was quoted $85 a month ago , but as usual the price seems to "bounce around".聽 聽i couldn't bother with haggling .

I don't know why you and Jim need to think like this? If someone who is Vietnamese but who love/get married with a foreigner, and she/he wants to know more about Visa, about foreign culture, where they should go to learn about it? Don't talk to me that you don't want/need your wife/gf's caring/sharing.
This is free forum, for anyone else who care about "foreign" things. We have spam everywhere, it's Mod/Admin's job. Your job is pressing report button, if you don't like something.
Life is so short to discuss something like this or make everything more important than it is. But I just want to talk about this once, that foreigners or Vietnamese are not important, we are here to help each other as much as we can. That's all!

Hey ngattt.
Don't bring me into your rant.
If this is a 'free forum' as you say it is,then you have no right to tell people what they can or cannot say.
True?
Or is this your idea of debate practice?
I've seen it a lot.
A Vietnamese who is well versed in English gets bored with chit-chat and decides the best way to improve their ""I know more than you"" attitude is to start arguements or 'discussions' with a foreigner.
So let us do as stumpy has said.
I will come back to the extension issue. I've been to the new immigration office in Dist. 3, HCMC last week. The lady told me that I have to extend my Tourist-Visa by an agency.
Now is the question, because I know there are a lot of overprized offers: Does anyone know a cheap and trustworthy agency where I can extend my Visa for 3 month?

I have this contact who I always ask for making Visa for my client. Currently price is USD175 for 1 month Visa, USD210 for 3 months visa (single and still not include VAT).
Mr. Ha
Number: 0909 25 04 06 or 0919 33 12 85
I'm not sure that he can speak English very well. I think he should.

I will greatly appreciate if someone can help me with more competitive contact
Many thanks 
"do not include VAT"聽 聽... haha what VAT!!
