Australian DJ stuck living in Vietnam airport for two days after making critical mistake booking holiday abroad: ‘This has broken me’
An Australian influencer and DJ gets stuck in a Vietnam airport after making a critical mistake while booking his trip abroad.
Sydney-based Levi Neufeld has been sleeping in a transit lounge at Ho Chi Minh Saigon airport for more than 24 hours after forgetting to apply for a transit visa for India, one of the layovers during a trip to Dubai.
Neufeld, known for his brief stint on The Voice as the “hot door guy” and most recently as Brent Vitiello’s best man on Married At First Sight, documented his unplanned extended layover in Vietnam on Instagram.
Despite having no intention of leaving the airport in India, Neufeld was banned from boarding his connecting flight to Dubai and sent back to Vietnam.
All passengers intending to make a layover in India are required to apply for a transit visa for the sole purpose of entering the airport.

His passport was confiscated in India, given to a flight crew and is now in the hands of “officials” in Vietnam while he awaits his return flight to Australia.
“I have been flying for 20 hours, I flew from Sydney to Vietnam and then from Vietnam to India. And then I had a connecting flight from India to Dubai, but they didn’t tell me I had to get a visa for India,” she explained in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
‘This has broken me.
‘I am forced to stay here in Vietnam for the next 27 hours. So a day and a while. They’re going to put me in a transit room.
Despite the setback, Neufeld remains resilient, vowing to document his unexpected stay through a TikTok series and update his followers on his situation.

Neufeld has compared himself to Tom Hanks in the film The Terminal, stranded in an airport with nowhere to go.
She even took the opportunity to rate the airport food and give her followers a look at her impromptu shower situation.
Neufeld also posted a photo of a dumpster with a sign asking people not to urinate in it.
‘Who the hell would pee in a trash can? And then I realized that it’s the international airport and it’s a pretty lawless place. So take a look,’ he said.
Known for his brief stint on The Voice as the “hot door guy” and most recently appearing as Brent Vitiello’s best man on MAFS, Levi is no stranger to the spotlight.
