Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

It also states that an e-visa holder in Viet Nam may be eligible to apply for a new visa if invited or guaranteed by an authority, organisation or individual in Viet Nam, subject to the law.
