Vietnam e-visa for Australians

Australians need a visa to visit Vietnam, and the easiest option for most trips is the Vietnam e-visa, applied for online before you travel.

What is the Vietnam e-visa?

The e-visa lets you visit Vietnam for tourism or business, with single-entry and multiple-entry options. It's issued electronically, so there's no need to visit an embassy.

What you'll need

  • Your Australian passport
  • A photo of your passport's photo page
  • A portrait photo on a white background
  • Your planned entry and exit dates and ports
  • Your address in Vietnam, occupation and employer
  • An emergency contact
