Question 1

When should I enter the country?

Accepted Answer

When applying for an invitation, you can enter the country at any time after the visa start date.

If your visa start date is April 15th, you can enter the country from April 15th.

If the class start date is May 1, it is safe to apply for a visa in mid-April as the start date and enter the country 1-2 weeks in advance to make living arrangements such as residence, bank, and cell phone.

Question 2

Is there a pick-up taxi service after arriving at Hanoi Airport?

Accepted Answer

The language school can send a taxi to pick you up, but there is an additional cost.

Usually, using an airport taxi or taxi app (Grab) from the airport to downtown Hanoi costs around 500,000 VND.

Question 3

How do I issue a visa at the airport after entering the country?

Accepted Answer

When you arrive at Hanoi's Noibai Airport, visit the visa application center.

The location is located opposite before immigration.

Submit your passport, invitation letter, 2 ID photos for visa, and visa issuance fee (6 months 95$ and 12 months 135$),

If you fill out a simple application form, you will return it after about 20 minutes by attaching a visa to your passport.

The application form is similar to the form you fill out when applying for the invitation letter for the first time, fill out what you know first and ask the staff if you don't know anything.

Question 4

I'm curious about the immigration screening process.

Accepted Answer

Immigration is very simple.

Check your passport and visa, and if there is no abnormality, immigration will be completed.

Recently, there is news that the immigration officer asked for a tip.

You don't need any money for anything during the immigration process, so if you ask for a tip, ignore it and keep staring at the staff.

Question 5

Which airline is good?

Accepted Answer

You can choose between domestic airlines and Vietnamese airlines.

When using Vietnamese airlines, you usually use VietJet or Vietnam Airlines.

The cost is relatively cheap, but delays are frequent.
