Once participants have received their visa approval letter, they can collect their visa upon arrival in an international airport in Viet Nam (Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi) before proceeding to their flight to Quy Nhon.

There are two main international airports in Vietnam : Hanoi (Noi Bai airport : HAN) and Ho Chi Minh (Tan Son Nhut airport : SGN).

To take a flight to Quy Nhon, Binh Dinh, you need to find a ticket to Phu Cat airport (UIH).

As there more flights from Ho Chi Minh to Quy nhon, it is more convenient to fly from foreign countries to Ho Chi Minh than to Hanoi.

Below is an indicative flight schedule. Please check before reservation.
