Urgent Vietnam Visa for Australians in 1.5 to 5 Hours
Three urgent processing tiers for Australian passport holders, available on Vietnamese business days. Compare each option, see exact fees, and find out what to do if your existing application is delayed.
Why Australians Need Urgent Vietnam eVisa Processing
Australia does not have a visa exemption agreement with Vietnam. Every Australian passport holder must hold an approved Vietnam eVisa before boarding -- regardless of trip purpose or length of stay. The government portal offers no express option: standard processing takes 3 to 5 business days with no guarantee on timing.
Common reasons Australians need urgent processing include last-minute business trips, a forgotten application before departure, an existing eVisa stuck in processing, or a sudden change in travel plans. Vietnam Visa Easy offers six urgent tiers -- from 1.5 hours to 3 business days -- all delivering an approved eVisa PDF by email with no embassy visit required.

Full Fee Schedule -- All 6 Tiers, Single and Multiple Entry
Every total below includes the mandatory Vietnam government fee -- $25 USD for single entry, $50 USD for multiple entry. No additional charges apply on arrival in Vietnam.
If you have already created an application directly on the official government portal and paid the government fee yourself, you do not pay it again through Vietnam Visa Easy. We deduct it from your total and charge only the service fee for accelerated processing.
Documents Required -- Same for All Tiers
- Australian passport biographical data page
Clear scan or photo, no glare. Minimum 6 months validity from entry date into Vietnam.
- Passport-size photo, white background
No glasses, no hat, eyes open, face centred. JPG or PNG under 2MB.
- Exact flight details

Common Mistakes Australian Travellers Make
Photo with coloured background
Casual photos or photos against walls and outdoor scenes are rejected by automated photo validation. White background only.
Australian passport expiring within 6 months
Vietnam requires 6 months of validity from entry date, not from today. Renew before applying if affected.
Wrong port of entry stated
Choosing a different airport than your actual arrival point used to cause issues. As of 2026 entry is valid at any of the 83 designated points, but accuracy is still recommended.
Single entry chosen for a multi-country trip
If visiting Cambodia, Laos, or Thailand and returning to Vietnam, single entry is invalidated on first exit. Choose multiple entry instead.
Weekend and Public Holiday Processing
All urgent tiers above are processed on business days only (Monday through Friday, Vietnam time, GMT+7 -- roughly 2 to 3 hours behind most Australian time zones depending on season). Vietnam Visa Easy offers a dedicated Weekend Service for applications needed on Saturdays, Sundays, or Vietnamese public holidays:
- Submit complete documents before 15:00 Vietnam time for same-day delivery between 17:00 and 18:00 Vietnam time
- Submit after 15:00 Vietnam time -- delivered the following day before 18:00
- Contact us on WhatsApp to confirm Weekend Service for your situation
eVisa Already Applied but Still Processing?
If your existing application has been pending too long and your flight is approaching, do not cancel it. Contact Vietnam Visa Easy to submit a new parallel emergency application -- both run simultaneously and whichever is approved first is the eVisa you use to travel.
