Australia to Vietnam visa requirements

Australians need a Vietnam eVisa before travel. Apply only through the official evisa.gov.vn portal; approved eVisas can allow up to 90 days and may be single or multiple entry. Australian ordinary passport holders are not listed under Vietnam's visa-exemption nationalities, so they need an appropriate visa before travelling to Vietnam. The standard short-visit route is Vietnam's official electronic visa system at evisa.gov.vn. Vietnam's Immigration Department and tourism authority state that eVisas are available to citizens of all countries and territories, can be single or multiple entry, and are valid for a maximum of 90 days. The official tourism page lists 13 international airports, 16 land border gates and 13 seaports that accept eVisa entry and exit. Smartraveller specifically warns Australian passport holders that they cannot get a visa on arrival, should apply online before departure, and should print the approved eVisa for airline check-in and arrival. The official eVisa fee remains USD 25 for a single-entry eVisa or USD 50 for a multiple-entry eVisa; processing is usually several working days, and the Embassy of Viet Nam in Australia says approvals are normally received at the end of the fourth working day if no correction is required. Check every passport detail and validity date carefully because errors can lead to denied boarding, correction fees, refused entry, or deportation.
