Flying to Can Tho on an international charter flight? Then you will pass Vietnam immigration at Can Tho International Airport, together with everyone else on your plane. Our Can Tho airport fast track service is made for this arrival: a member of our team meets you with a name board before the immigration counters, helps you at the visa-on-arrival counter if you need it, and takes you through passport control ahead of the main queue.

Can Tho has no scheduled international flights at the moment, so international arrivals here are charter flights. Below we explain what that means for your arrival, and how to book.

We are a private travel service, not the Vietnamese government. Vietnam Immigration still checks your passport and visa and decides on your entry.

International flights at Can Tho in 2026

Can Tho is classed as an international airport. However, according to a Tuoi Tre report on 1 September 2026, it had no scheduled international flights at that time, only about 7 domestic routes. As a result, the international flights that land here are charters, usually arranged by tour operators for a group or a season.

This makes a charter arrival at Can Tho different from a normal arrival at Tan Son Nhat. Instead of many flights spread over the day, your plane is often the only international flight, and all its passengers reach immigration at once.

What to expect at immigration on a charter flight

  • Everyone arrives together. A charter is usually full, so the whole planeload, often a large tour group, walks into the immigration hall at the same moment. If you are near the back, you wait for the whole group.
  • The visa-on-arrival counter can be the slowest step. If many passengers on your flight need a visa on arrival, they all hand in documents at the landing visa counter, and the visas are issued one by one before passport control.
  • Chinese e-passport holders collect a loose-leaf visa at the same counter, even with an e-visa, which adds to the wait.
  • Late arrivals are common. Charter flights often land in the evening or at night, when you just want to reach your hotel.

Do you need Can Tho airport fast track?

For charter passengers, fast track is most useful if:

  • you need a visa on arrival or a loose-leaf visa;
  • you travel with older relatives or young children and do not want to stand behind a full flight;
  • you travel independently on a group charter and want to be out before the tour group;
  • you land late at night and want a quick, guided arrival.

On the other hand, if you hold an e-visa or enter visa-free, sit near the front of the plane and travel light, the queue may be manageable without the service.

How fast track works at Can Tho

  1. Meet our staff. First, our staff wait with your name board at the entrance to the arrival immigration area.
  2. Visa counter, if needed. Then we help you hand in your documents at the landing visa counter. You pay the USD 25 stamping fee in cash.
  3. Priority lane. After that, we take you through passport control ahead of the main queue.
  4. Baggage and customs (VIP). Finally, we help you at the baggage belt and through customs to the exit.

Charter schedules change often, so please enter your exact flight number and arrival time when you book. We then confirm the arrangement with you by email.

Fast track speeds up immigration, but the arrival steps and the customs rules stay the same for every traveller. For every step from the aircraft to the arrivals hall, see our Vietnam entry procedure guide. For duty-free limits, cash declaration and the e-cigarette ban, see our Vietnam customs rules guide.
