Do Australian citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Australian citizens are not on Vietnam's visa-exemption list, so every trip to the mainland needs a visa, whatever its length. The simplest route is the e-visa: open to all nationalities since 15 August 2023, valid up to 90 days, single or multiple entry, and used at the airports, land borders and seaports on the government's approved list.
The government fee is US$25 (single entry) or US$50 (multiple entry). With us you pay one price, US$74 all-inclusive (US$99 for multiple entry), government fee included: your documents are checked, filed for you and followed up until your e-visa arrives.
Single or multiple entry for an Australian itinerary?
If you fly in and out of Vietnam once, a single-entry e-visa is enough. If your trip includes a side trip to Cambodia or Laos and back, choose multiple entry: land crossings such as Moc Bai (Cambodia) and Lao Bao (Laos) are on the list of gates open to e-visa holders.
| Your trip | E-visa to choose | Our price |
|---|---|---|
| Holiday in Vietnam only | Single entry | US$74 |
| Vietnam, then Cambodia or Laos, then back to Vietnam | Multiple entry | US$99 |
| Phu Quoc only, flying there directly | No visa needed (30 days, island only) | Not needed |
Can Australians get a visa on arrival?
Only with an approval letter obtained in advance through a licensed Vietnamese company, and only at international airports, with a stamping fee paid in cash. For most trips the e-visa is simpler: everything is done before you fly.
