Arriving in Quang Ninh: Your Gateway at Van Don (VDO) Airport
Your gateway to Ha Long Bay and Quang Ninh province is Van Don International Airport.
- Airport Name: Van Don International Airport
- Codes: IATA: VDO | ICAO: VVVD
- Location: Van Don District, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam.
- International Arrivals: Van Don International Airport is a modern, boutique airport designed to welcome international visitors, with regular routes from key markets like South Korea and China. As Vietnam’s international arrivals exceeded 17.5 million in 2024, this focused gateway can become congested during peak flight arrivals.
- Distance to City Center: The airport is conveniently located approximately 50-60 km from Ha Long city center (the heart of Ha Long Bay).
How to get to the city center:
The journey to Ha Long city takes approximately 50-80 minutes. Preferred transport options for a seamless transfer include:
- Pre-booked Private Car: This is the most comfortable option. A driver can meet you after you clear customs. Services can be booked in advance for various vehicle types, from luxury sedans to minivans (approx. $35 – $90 USD depending on the provider and vehicle).
- Hotel Transfer Service: Many luxury hotels and resorts in Ha Long offer their own private transfer services. We recommend arranging this directly with your hotel.
- Airport Taxis: Taxis are readily available at the terminal.
- Ride-Hailing Apps: Services like Grab are available in the region.
Please note: Ground transportation is a separate service and is not included in your VDO Airport Immigration Fast Track booking.
The Challenge: What Awaits at VDO Airport Immigration?
Upon landing, your first stop is the VDO Airport Immigration checkpoint. While Van Don is efficient, it processes passengers from entire flights at once. This inevitably leads to long, winding queues, especially during:
- Peak tourist seasons
- Holiday periods
- Simultaneous flight arrivals
For travelers holding a Visa-on-Arrival (VOA) or certain e-visas, the wait is even longer. You must first queue at the Visa-on-Arrival counter to complete paperwork (like the NA1 form), pay stamping fees, and receive your visa sticker before joining the main immigration queue. This two-step process can easily add an hour or more of frustrating delay to your arrival.
