Do I need a visa to transit through Vietnam’s Tan Son Nhat’s Airport? What can be done in transit?
It is recommended that you apply for a good visa one or two weeks before departure because it is much cheaper than using emergency requirements (for example, a single entry visa costs you $6 per person for a single entry a month, while $80 per person is required for the same emergency 2-hour visa). Once you get the visa approval letter, check all the information again and again, then print it out and get the visa seal at the landing visa counter. The minimum visa period is 30 days. Depending on the type of visa you choose, you can enter or exit one or more times (if you transit Vietnam more than twice in a month).
