08/06/2026 01:46
Complete 2026 guide for Australian citizens applying for a Vietnam e-visa — eligibility, fees, processing time, photo tips, and urgent options. Trusted by thousands of Australians every year.
Every year, more than 380,000 Australians travel to Vietnam — making Australia one of the top five source markets for international visitors to the country. Some come for the beaches of Da Nang and Phu Quoc. Some for the food in Hoi An. And some come for a reason that runs much deeper.
A Story Worth Knowing
In 2019, a retired schoolteacher from Melbourne named David made his first trip to Vietnam at the age of 67. His father had served in the Australian Army during the Vietnam War in the late 1960s — one of over 60,000 Australians who were deployed. His father never spoke much about it. He passed away without going back.
David went instead.
He visited the Long Tan memorial in Ba Ria - Vung Tau, where 108 Australian and New Zealand soldiers held off a force of over 2,500 during the Battle of Long Tan in 1966. He stood in the rubber plantation in the rain — just like that August day decades before — and said it was the most powerful experience of his life.
He has been back three times since. Each time, he uses VietVisaPro to handle his e-visa — because, as he put it: "I don't want paperwork to be the reason I can't get back to a place that means this much to me."
David's story is not unusual. Thousands of Australians make this journey every year — and all of them need a Vietnam e-visa to do it.

How Long Does Processing Take?
| Package | Processing Time | Best For |
|---|---|---|

| 5-Hour Urgent | 5 working hours | Flight tomorrow |
| Elite 1.5-Hour | 1–1.5 hours | At the airport now |
Time zone note for Australians: Vietnam is GMT+7. Sydney (AEST) is GMT+10 — meaning when it's 8 AM in Sydney, it's 5 AM in Vietnam (before office hours). If you submit an urgent order in the morning Australian time, processing begins at 8 AM Vietnam time. Orders submitted Thursday evening Australian time may not begin processing until Friday Vietnam time. Plan ahead by at least half a day.
Working hours: Mon–Fri, 8 AM–5 PM (GMT+7). Weekend and holiday orders are accepted and delivered before 6 PM same day. For extreme last-minute cases, we issue an Approval Letter so you can board — official e-visa delivered before landing.
What Documents Do Australian Applicants Need?
Just two items:
- Passport photo page — clear scan or photo, valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date in Vietnam
- Portrait photo — clear, no glasses required, no white background required
No original passport submission. No embassy visit. The entire process is online.
Which Airport Should Australians Register?
Most Australians fly into one of these three:
- Tan Son Nhat International Airport — Ho Chi Minh City (most direct flights from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane)
- Noi Bai International Airport — Hanoi
- Da Nang International Airport — Da Nang
Register the first international airport you land at — not your final domestic destination if you have a connecting flight within Vietnam.

Note for Australian photo dimensions: Australian passport photos are 35x45mm — slightly different from the 4x6cm standard required by Vietnam Immigration. This formatting difference sometimes causes upload errors on the government portal. VietVisaPro's team checks and adjusts your photo before submission to prevent rejection.
Popular Australian Travel Routes to Vietnam
Sydney / Melbourne → Ho Chi Minh City Gateway to the Mekong Delta, Cu Chi Tunnels, and southern beaches. Direct flights available with Vietnam Airlines, Jetstar, and Qantas codeshare.
Sydney / Brisbane → Da Nang Increasingly popular route — access to Hoi An, Hue, and the central coast. Often cheaper than flying into HCMC.
Melbourne → Hanoi For travelers exploring the north — Ha Long Bay, Ninh Binh, Sapa. Usually requires a transit in Singapore or Kuala Lumpur.
The Long Tan Route (Ba Ria - Vung Tau) A growing number of Australians visit specifically to see the Long Tan Memorial and the Australian War Memorial at Nui Dat. Enter via Tan Son Nhat (HCMC) and travel 2 hours south by road.
Common Questions from Australian Travelers
Q: Do Australians need a visa for Vietnam? A: Yes. Australia does not have a visa exemption agreement with Vietnam for stays beyond a few days. An e-visa is required for all standard tourist and business visits. The 90-day e-visa is the most popular option for Australian travelers.
Q: Can I get a Vietnam visa on arrival from Australia? A: Visa on arrival requires a pre-arranged approval letter and is generally less reliable and more expensive than an e-visa. The e-visa is the recommended option for Australian passport holders — processed entirely online, no airport queues.
Q: My Australian passport expires in 5 months — can I still apply? A: No. Vietnam requires your passport to be valid for at least 6 months from your date of arrival. Renew your passport before applying.
Q: I booked a cruise that stops in Vietnam — do I need a visa? A: Yes, if you plan to disembark and explore onshore. Make sure to register the correct seaport on your e-visa — not an airport. Contact us to confirm the right port for your cruise itinerary.
Q: What if my flight is changed to a different airport after I get my visa? A: Contact us immediately via our correction service — we can update the entry port on your visa, with processing from 1.5 hours.
Q: I need a visa for next week — which package should I choose? A: If your flight is 5+ days away → Standard package. 2–4 days away → 1-Day package. Less than 24 hours → 5-Hour Urgent or Elite 1.5-Hour. See the full comparison of regular vs urgent packages.
