How to Apply for a Vietnam e-Visa from Australia

Everything from your Adelaide, Perth, Sydney, or Brisbane departure to landing in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, or Da Nang — done entirely online, in about five minutes.

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.

What You'll Need Open

• Australian passport, biographical page scanned clearly
• A recent compliant photo — see exact photo requirements
• Your confirmed entry date, port of entry, and accommodation details in Vietnam
• A card or PayPal for payment

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.
