    In Short

    Australians apply for a Vietnam e-Visa entirely online: submit passport and travel details, upload a compliant photo, choose standard (3–5 days, $50) or urgent processing (up to $215 for 30–60 minutes), and receive the approved e-Visa by email. It's accepted at 83 entry points across Vietnam's airports, land borders, and seaports — no embassy visit required.

    Part One

    What the e-Visa Actually Is

    A single-entry (or multiple-entry, for an extra fee) visa issued electronically by Vietnam Immigration, valid up to 90 days for tourism, business, or family visits. Australia holds no visa exemption with Vietnam, so every Australian traveler needs one regardless of trip length. It's accepted at 83 international checkpoints — airports, land borders, and seaports — including Vietnam's three main gateways for Australian travelers: Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Da Nang.

    Before you start: your passport needs at least 6 months of validity remaining beyond your entry date, plus a blank page for immigration purposes.

    If Your Plans Change After Applying

    Your e-Visa is fixed to the entry date and port you selected — if either changes, contact support to update it before it's finalized rather than applying fresh. If your flight moved up and standard processing won't arrive in time, don't submit a duplicate application — see how to speed up an existing application instead.
