Quick guide for Australian travelers
Use this page to confirm whether Australian citizens need a Vietnam visa, what documents to prepare, how the eVisa route works, and when to contact support for urgent or special timing.
Do Australian citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Australian citizens normally need a valid visa to enter Vietnam for tourism, business, relative visits, or other short stays. The most common route is a Vietnam eVisa, although Visa on Arrival support may be considered for selected urgent or special cases, especially when the traveler is entering Vietnam by air.
Vietnam visa options for Australian passport holders
Vietnam eVisa
The eVisa route is suitable for most Australian travelers. You can apply directly through the official channel or use Vietnam GoEasy for private document preparation, form guidance, fee review, payment flow, and follow-up.
Visa on Arrival support
Visa on Arrival is not the default route for every traveler, but it may help in selected urgent, air-entry, or special handling cases. If your flight is close, contact support before choosing this route.
What Australian travelers should prepare
Good document quality helps reduce avoidable delays. Before submitting a request, prepare clear traveler information and files for every applicant in the order.
Clear color image or PDF with all four corners visible, no glare, and details matching the application.
Recent front-facing portrait on a simple background, with the face clearly visible.
Planned arrival date, exit date, arrival port, accommodation or contact information, and reachable email.
Each traveler needs separate passport and portrait files, even when one person submits the order.
Vietnam visa cost and processing time for Australian citizens
To keep this guide readable, we do not place a large fee table here. Use the compact fee checker in the right sidebar to select the number of applicants, visa type, and processing speed, then review the estimated service total before continuing.
Urgent, same-day, weekend, or holiday requests should be checked with support first. Availability may depend on document quality, case details, Vietnam working time, and the authority’s handling window.

Can Australian travelers enter at any Vietnam port?
No. An eVisa should be used at an eligible Vietnam entry point and within the validity dates shown on the visa. The entry port selected during the application should match the real travel plan, especially for airports, land borders, and cruise or sea arrivals.
Common entry-point categories
- Airports: major international airports serving Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Cam Ranh, Phu Quoc, Hai Phong, Can Tho, Phu Bai, Van Don, and other eligible air routes.
- Land borders: selected border gates with Cambodia, Laos, and China.
- Seaports: selected Vietnam seaports for cruise or sea entry.
Can I enter before the date shown on my visa?
No. Australian travelers should enter on or after the valid-from date and leave before the visa expires. You may enter any day within the approved validity period, but earlier entry is not allowed.
Can Australian travelers extend their stay in Vietnam?
For a tourist eVisa, in-country extension is generally not a simple guaranteed option. If you want a longer stay, plan the right validity before applying, or leave Vietnam and return with a new valid visa when appropriate. Repeated border runs may create questions, so ask support before relying on that plan.
How to get a Vietnam visa from Australia
The route depends mainly on your passport nationality, not only where you live. If you hold an Australian passport, follow the Australian-citizen guidance on this page. If you live in Australia but hold another passport, check the requirements for that nationality before applying.
Tips for smoother processing
- Apply well before departure when possible, especially before weekends or Vietnam public holidays.
- Match your full name, passport number, date of birth, and nationality exactly to the passport.
- Use clean passport and portrait files; avoid cropped corners, glare, shadows, and blurry photos.
- Check the arrival port carefully if your route includes a land border, cruise, or connecting flight.
- Keep your order reference so support can find your case quickly.
