Asked by Ty Chin | Mar. 12, 2018 03:16 About: Transit Visa

Hello,


I will be visiting Vietnam in March and am interested in doing a Visa on arrival. I am flying in from Beijing, with ~2 hour layover in Hanoi, and final destination in Ho Chi Minh City. 

 


Will I have to clear my visa with immigration in  Hanoi first and leave security? Or can I just transit and go through immigration in HCMC?


Thanks,

Ty

Dear Valerie

Thank you for your email.

In this case, you will need to get your visa stamped at Ho Chi Minh  airport before you fly to Danang, however the procedure at airport may  take 1-2 hours. Therefore, please be advised that you obtain your visa  beforehand, so you can save much time at airport.

Best regards,

Dear Tee

We are afraid that 2 hours will not be enough since you will need to get your visa stamped at Hanoi airport  before you fly to Hue.

In this case, please be advised that you obtain your visa before you travel to Vietnam.

Best regards,

Hi Ty

if so, you will need to have the visa stamped at Hanoi airport since you will require a check-in for the flight to HCMC.

Have a good day!

Dear Jana,
Thank you for contacting us.

Since it is not required a visa for domestic flights, you only need a visa when you enter HCMC. In this case, we believe that a single entry visa is enough.

Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.
