Hi,
I'm flying from Hanoi with VietJet Air and have a 5h30 self-transfer in Jakarta before continuing to Doha with Qatar Airways.
With checked baggage.
My questions are:
Can I get my visa on arrival, or do I need it before departure?
And do I have enough time to get the visa, collect my bags, and check in for the next flight in 5h30?
If you've done this before, how long do you think these steps take?
Thanks so much in advance for your replies—it's pretty urgent!

Hi there,
We traveled with Qatar Airways from Roissy to the Seychelles in business class. The flight was on time, and the only hiccup was changing planes in Doha for an Airbus A350 in the same class.
The cabin crew was very attentive, and the in-flight meals were way above average. The seats were super comfortable—especially the lie-flat position—so the flight was really restful. I’d highly recommend this airline. From what I’ve seen, they mainly serve the Middle East and Asia.
Speaking of which, we’re about to book a trip to Thailand and Cambodia, again with the same airline.
