Question: Visa query via Ho Chi Minh City to Phu Quoc
Hi , I am fly from Bangkok to Seoul via Ho Chi Minh City in the next few weeks. Spending 4 days in Seoul and then flying to Phu Quoc island via Ho Chi Minh City. All flights are with Vietnam Airlines. Do I need a transit visa of some sort ? I understand that I won’t need one for Phu Quoc as its exempt, I’m just worried about moving from one terminal to another in Ho Chi Minh City and will I need a visa for that . Thanks,
Vincent
Answer
Dear Vincent,
In your case, please check with your airline's agent if you have to go out of the Vietnam Immigration gate (isolated area) to reach the baggage claim belt for transit flight via Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City). If yes, you need to have a visa to pass Immigration checking booth. In this case you would need to apply for a visa and there is no transit visa, but normal visa.
We hope that the information above is helpful for you. Let us know if you have any further concerns.
Best regards,
