Flight
Airport serves as the international gateway for HCMC. If you have an ASEAN passport, you are exempt from applying for a visa. For other nationalities, please check if you need to apply for an electronic visa, which can be obtained from the link below. We suggest applying 1-2 months ahead of your trip. Depending on when you land, Tan Son Nhat International Airport can be quite chaotic and hectic. If you arrive in the morning, be prepared for it to take up to 45 minutes to go through immigration! We are giving you a heads up so that you are not taken by surprise!
