The Inevitable Delay: What Awaits at the Arrival Immigration Checkpoint?
While Cat Bi International Airport is efficiently run, its growing popularity means the arrival hall can quickly become a bottleneck, consuming valuable hours of your journey.
Upon landing, most international passengers face a single, frustrating reality: the queue.
- Peak Hour Paralysis: Queues are especially long during peak flight arrival times, the high tourist season (typically summer), and during major Vietnamese public holidays like Tết (Lunar New Year).
- The Visa-on-Arrival Snag: If you are required to obtain a Visa-on-Arrival (VOA), you face two separate queues: first, at the Visa-on-Arrival counter to process your documents and pay the stamping fee, and second, at the main Immigration Checkpoint. This double process can easily add 60 minutes or more to your arrival time.
- Stress and Hassle: After hours on a plane, waiting in a slow-moving line is the last thing you need. It consumes your valuable holiday or business time, leading to unnecessary stress and fatigue, particularly for families with children or business travelers on tight schedules.
