+ You cannot apply for a change of visa code: Vietnam Visa with DL code means you enter Vietnam for tourism reasons. However, if you want to extend visa for the purpose of working, you cannot apply for extension of your current visa. You need to apply for a new visa with DN or LD code.
In this case, you need to exit Vietnam and apply for a new visa for employment purposes.
