This method only applies to those of you that have a 5 year visa exemption certificate (married to a Viet).
Step 1: Go to this website http://xnc.congan.com.vn/vietkieu-nuocngoai/bieumau-vietkieu-xnc/mldocument.2008-04-24.7891982088/view and download the form

Step 2: You have 2 options, either have your employer be the guarentor or your wife. If your employer then they will need to stamp and sign it and you will have to have a copy of your work permit. If your wife then you must go to your wards police station with your resident book and wife and get them to stamp the form. You will also need a copy of your marriage certificate

Step 3: Go to the immigration office at 161 Nguyen Du (at CMT8). Bring passport, the completed form and either copy of work permit or marriage certificate.

Step 4: Come back in about 7 days, pay $10 and get your passport with another 3 months stamped in it.

This saves you from having to leave the country to get the stamp. Hope this help those of you who did not know this
