Navigating HCMC airport

Easier than you think.
Just follow the crowd off the plane until you can see the Passport control entry points & people lined up.

Off to one side you'll look for a sign that says “Landing Visa “ or something similar.   You'll see a waiting area with lots of chairs & a counter behind glass , that's the VOA landing visa office.    Just go up to the window & pass your forms & PP to the staff & take a seat.

Depending on how many people are there,,,is how long you wait.

They'll either call your name to collect your PPort & visa & pay your stamp fee.  Some airports like Cam Ranh have a screen with your name  & photo on it to call you.  Maybe Saigon has that done recently.

No coffee money , unless some “fast lane” service operators approach you.  You can actually book that service thru most VOA agents.  Not required really,   I've usually got thru in 15 minutes, but if there's a crowd , maybe an hour.   It's getting quicker though.

If you prefer the shittiest experience of the lot,,,,arrive by land.

I did that yesterday at Moc Bai to renew a visa.    That place is an embarrassment to humanity.  Never been any different.   Having said that,,that's why these places are cheap. 

Classless & shitty.....but the beers cold & cheap.😆
