I found these paragraphs at the Virginia Tax Dept website in the instructions to Virginia 2018 Form 760 (Resident Individual Income Tax Booklet) at this link:

https://tax.virginia.gov/sites/default/files/vatax-pdf/2018-form-760-instructions.pdf

"Extension  for  Filing  Income  Tax  Returns: All  taxpayers  are  granted  an  automatic  6-month  extension  of  time  to  file  their  income  tax  returns.  No  application  for  extension  is  required;  however,  any  tentative  tax  due  must  be  paid  with  an extension voucher, Form 760IP, by the original due date for filing the return. You  can  file  and  pay  your  tentative  tax  online  using  the  Department’s    eForms    or    Individual    Online    Services.    Payments  are  made  electronically  and  you  may  schedule  payments to be made on a future date."

and

"Extension provisions - Virginia law provides an automatic 6-month  filing  extension  for  income  tax  returns.    No  application  for  extension  is  required.  The  extension  is  for  filing  the  return,  not  for  payment  of  the  tax;  therefore,  you  must pay at least 90% of your tax by the due date, May 1 for calendar year filers, to avoid  penalty. To make a payment of tentative tax, use Form 760IP."
