Can I transit through a Vietnam airport without a visa?

YES, you can transit through a Vietnam airport without a visa under specific conditions. Here's what you need to know:

Visa-free transit within the airport: If you have a connecting flight within 24 hours and do not plan to leave the international transit area, you can transit without a visa.
Transit visa exemption: Certain nationalities are exempt from obtaining a visa for transit purposes, even if they require a visa for entering Vietnam as a destination. The exemption usually allows for a short stay, typically 72 hours or less.
Leaving the airport during transit: If you wish to leave the airport during your transit in Vietnam, even for a brief period, you will need to obtain a visa in advance or qualify for a visa exemption based on your nationality.

For a smooth transit experience, consider applying for an electronic visa (e-Visa) through the Vietnam Immigration Services website. The e-Visa is an online authorization document that allows foreign citizens to visit Vietnam for tourism, conferences, business, and more. It simplifies the visa application process, granting a single-entry and multiple-entry for a stay of up to 90 days.

While Vietnam no longer requires travelers to show proof of travel insurance that covers COVID, we highly recommend having travel insurance to ensure a worry-free trip. It provides essential coverage in case of unexpected situations.
