Vietnam Airlines has officially launched its first-ever direct route connecting Ho Chi Minh City and Copenhagen, marking an important milestone in air travel between Vietnam and Northern Europe. This new service not only shortens travel time but also opens up smoother connectivity for business travelers, tourists, and overseas Vietnamese communities.
However, while the flight itself is convenient, arrival procedures at Vietnam’s busiest airport can still be challenging. Long immigration queues, unfamiliar entry steps, and uncertainty about arrival cards make airport fast track services highly recommended for travelers on this route.
The new Vietnam Airlines Copenhagen Ho Chi Minh route eliminates the need for stopovers in Europe or the Middle East. Passengers can now travel nonstop between Ho Chi Minh City and Denmark, saving several hours compared to connecting flights.
This route strengthens economic, tourism, and cultural ties between Vietnam and Scandinavia, especially as travel demand continues to recover.
Vietnam Airlines operates this long-haul route using Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, designed for comfort on extended flights. The schedule is set at multiple flights per week, making it suitable for both leisure and business travelers planning flexible itineraries.
Tan Son Nhat International Airport is Vietnam’s busiest airport, handling millions of international passengers every year. During peak hours, it is common for travelers to wait 60 to 120 minutes at immigration counters, especially when several long-haul flights arrive at the same time.
For passengers arriving from Copenhagen after a long overnight journey, standing in line can be exhausting and frustrating.
Vietnam airport fast track services are designed to reduce waiting time at immigration. A staff member meets you upon arrival and escorts you through priority lanes, helping you bypass the standard immigration queue.
This service does not replace visa requirements but ensures a smoother and faster entry process, particularly useful for travelers unfamiliar with Vietnam’s airport procedures.
Fast track is especially suitable for:
First-time visitors to Vietnam
Business travelers with tight schedules
Families with children or elderly passengers
Anyone arriving during peak travel seasons
For many travelers, the fast track is less about luxury and more about convenience and peace of mind. Here is the website for fast-track services: https://vietnam-immi.org/fast-track.

Most travelers must obtain a valid visa or Vietnam e-visa before arrival. Passports should be valid for at least six months beyond the entry date, with sufficient blank pages for immigration stamps.
Having printed copies of your visa approval and accommodation details can help avoid unnecessary delays.
A common question among travelers is: Is there an E arrival card for Vietnam?
Vietnam has largely phased out traditional paper arrival cards. In most cases, travelers with an e-visa do not need to complete a paper arrival card on the plane. Immigration officers rely on electronic records instead.
That said, entry procedures can change, and some airlines or airports may still request basic arrival information. Completing any available online entry form in advance is recommended to ensure a smooth arrival.
