Question: I need information if I need transit visa for Vietnam
Dear Sir/Mam,
My name is Anduen Metushi, Albanian. Now I live in Indonesia. I want to go to France in Nov, 14, 2016 with Vietnam Airlines, and will transit in Ho Chi Minh airport around 2 hours. I need information if I need transit visa for Vietnam as long as I am in airport to wait for another flight to France? If yes, how I must apply to make it easy for me.
Need to hear the information immediately.
Thank you so much.
Best Regards,
Anduen Metushi
Answer
Dear Anduen Metushi,
Thank you for contacting us and your phone call.
Please check with your airlines agent if you have to go out of the Vietnam Immigration gate (isolated area) to reach the baggage claim belt for transit flight via Vietnam. If yes, you need to have a visa to pass Immigration checking booth. In this case you would need to apply for a one month-single entry visa.
If your luggage is automatically transferred from one flight to another and you do not need to go out of the isolated area, you would not need to apply for Vietnam visa.
We hope that the information above is helpful for you. Let us know should you have any further concern.
Best regards,
Kathy Nguyen (Ms.)
