Vietnam Airport Arrival: The Complete Guide
An infographic on navigating immigration smoothly and the benefits of a Fast Entry service to bypass common delays and queues.
Your Airport Arrival Process Flow
This flowchart illustrates the standard journey for travelers arriving at a Vietnam international airport. The path diverges based on your visa type, highlighting the crucial step for Visa-on-Arrival holders.
1. Arrive & Disembark
All travelers begin here.
2a. Landing Visa Counter
For Visa-on-Arrival holders only. Potential for significant queues here. (Fast Entry bypasses this!)
2b. Immigration Checkpoint
E-Visa & Visa-Free travelers proceed directly here. VOA holders join after visa collection.
3. Baggage Claim
4. Customs & Exit
The Challenge: Airport Queues
Long queues are a common issue at both the Visa on Arrival and Immigration checkpoints. A Fast Entry Service is designed to eliminate this waiting time entirely.
This chart provides an estimated comparison of time spent in queues for a standard arrival versus using a Fast Entry service.
