pete_r Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hi, Has anyone experience on this: I have a 2-hour connection at Ho Chi Minh / Thanh Son Nhat airport (Vietnam) on my way from Bangkok to Europe (Paris). Do I need to get a transit visa for Vietnam, or is it possible to stay in the international area between flights? How about checked-in luggage, can it be forwarded directly to final destination? Thanks in advance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Are both segments on the same ticket? Who are you flying with??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_r Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Same ticket all the way, but Vietnam Airlines for BKK-SGN and Air France for SGN-CDG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Bags will be checked all the way and you'll just have to wait in the international area for your next flight. Won't have to deal with immigration there. Luckily!! Have a great trip! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misterwhisper Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I concur with craigt. You won't need a visa and will remain in the international (transit) area. You luggage will be checked through to your final destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_r Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Great, thanks for the advice, and for the good news! I've just phoned to the airline to double-check, and they also concur. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
