Do you need a visa when you transit in Vietnam?

Whether you need a visa when transiting in Vietnam depends on several factors, including the duration of the layover and whether you plan to leave the airport. If you have a layover of less than 24 hours and remain in the international transit area of the airport, you typically do not need a visa. However, if you plan to leave the airport during your transit or if your layover exceeds 24 hours, you will need to obtain a transit visa or tourist visa. It's essential to check the specific requirements of your airline and the Vietnamese immigration regulations before your travel, as they can change. Additionally, passengers from certain countries may have different visa exemption agreements, so it's advisable to verify your visa requirements well in advance.
