Arriving at the airport

As you step down from an international flight, you will be passing through Immigration & Visa Counter. This is where you will get your passport and e-visa checked and/or obtain your visa on arrival if you are from an visa exempted country. Kindly remember to state tourism as the purpose of your visit when asked by the immigration officers. 


Once you have cleared the Immigration desk you can move on to the baggage reclaim area where you wait until your bag arrives, then make your way to the exit.

Meeting our staff

You will be collected at the airport arrivals hall. Our driver will hold a sign with your name on it. You will then be taken directly to your accommodation.

In the extremely rare event that the driver coming to meet you is late and you do not see anyone holding a sign with your name at the airport or if you experience any flight delays, please call the local staff through WhatsApp:

+84 (0) 974 915 945: Viet Dao (Director)

+84 (0) 859 218 680: Viet Duong (Project Coordinator)

Stay at the airport in the arrivals hall until our staff member finds you.
