The Bottleneck: Visualizing Wait Times

The primary cause of arrival delays is queuing. During peak hours, wait times can accumulate significantly. The Arrival Fast Track Service is designed specifically to mitigate this.

This chart illustrates the potential time saved by using the Fast Track service, which bypasses queues at both the visa counter and immigration, compared to standard processing during peak arrival times.

Critical VOA Requirements

For Visa-on-Arrival, preparation is key to avoid serious delays. The Fast Track service can assist if you’re missing items, but having these ready is essential.

Single Entry Visa

Stamping fee payable in cash (USD or VND)
