September 5, 2018
Visa fast track service
Normally, the travelers have to wait 15 – 30 minutes for visa stamped onto their passport. Sometime it takes longer in rush hours when nearly all premium airlines demand similar arrival or departure times, thus unloading all their passenger towards the immigration lines at the same time. The travelers then have to wait to hours for their turn.
In order to shorten the visa on arrival process at arrival airport, we provide the visa fast track service that will be helpful in some cases:
– Those who travel Vietnam for the first time with a visa on arrival/ e-visa;
– Those who apply for a rush visa and have no time to print out the letter of approval;
– Those who need to speed up the stamping process up at Vietnam airport for other business;
– The elderly, infants or pregnant women;
– A group of travel;
– Those who have a connecting flight and the time for checking in for the next flight is too close;
There are 2 kinds of visa fast track service available at present:
1. Normal fast track service
With this service, our agent will bring a welcome board with your name on waiting in front of the visa on arrival counter. When you see him, please hand over your passport, photo and stamping fee and he will complete visa stamp via a fast lane.
