Hi I am Australian national flying out to India from Ho Chi Minh by two different airlines on the same day. Journey starts from Techo international airport, Cambodia. Do I need a Vietnam visa?

Reply
A Answered by Lan Answered 1 month ago
@Betty Aynikkal, if you remain within the transit/transfer area, no visa is required. However, it is better to check with your airline to confirm whether you will need to exit and re-enter the airport for baggage collection or transfer.

How do I a pre-approved letter if I hold a South African passport and I purchased flights directly with the airline and hotel accommodation, directly with the Hotel. Thanks

Reply
A Answered by Lina Tran Answered 2 years, 8 months ago

@GOVENDER, It is currently not possible to obtain an approval letter if you are not going on an organized tour with a local tour operator. However, the new e-visa policy will soon be in effect, which will be available to all countries. If you are not traveling soon, please wait for the new visa policy updates.
