Vietnam visa for Australian – Ensure 100% success in less time

Vietnam visa for Australian – Ensure 100% success in less time

Currently, Australian citizens are required to apply for a visa to enter Vietnam for both tourism and business purposes. Travelers may apply for either a single-entry or multiple-entry visa, with a maximum validity of up to 90 days.
Typically, a Vietnam visa application for Aussie citizens is processed within 3 to 5 working days. However, in some cases, additional verification by the Vietnam Immigration Department may be required, which can extend the processing time. To ensure a faster and smoother approval, Australian applicants should carefully follow the instructions below:

1. Apply for your Vietnam visa as soon as possible

You should apply for a Vietnam visa as soon as you book your flight ticket. In most cases, a visa application can be submitted up to 6 months before your departure date. Applying early helps you avoid last minute issues or delays, especially during Vietnamese national holidays when processing time will be extended to 10 – 15 days.

2. Prepare valid photos and complete personal information

When applying for a Vietnam visa, you must prepare both the required information and the necessary photos. The photos must be clear, and the portrait photo must have been taken within the last 6 months. Ensure that your photos meet the requirements and all information provided is accurate and complete, as these are essential for visa approval.
The information should be:
– The address and telephone number are using in your country;
– The name, address and telephone number of the person to contact in emegency;
– The name and address of your accommodation in Vietnam during your trip. If you have multiple hotel bookings, you may simply provide the details of the first hotel;

3. Always check the visa status

Once your visa application is approved, you will receive a notification via email. However, the email may not always be delivered immediately. In some cases, even your visa have been approved, the confirmation email has not yet arrived. Therefore, as your flight time approaches, you should regularly check your visa status on the official portal to ensure it has been granted.

4. Review the visa information

Upon receiving your visa, immediately verify that all details match your passport. Any errors — such as typos, spelling mistakes, or incorrect information — may result in serious problems when boarding your flight or entering Vietnam.

We recently received an email from an Australian applicant:

Hi,
My family of 6 (Australian citizens) is scheduled to travel to Vietnam tomorrow at 5:00 AM. However, our little daughter’s e-visa application is still showing “in processing.”
We have already contacted the official Vietnam e-visa portal to follow up, but there has been no update so far. As our departure time is approaching very soon, we are extremely worried this delay may affect our family trip.
Could you please assist us in expediting her visa process

It’s truly a stressful situation when a family’s travel plan is at risk because one member’s visa is still being processed, especially with an early morning flight the next day.

If your child’s visa has not yet been approved, there is no need to panic. Our emergency visa support service can help you expedite the application and ensure the visa is issued in time for your family to travel together as planned.

We have extensive experience assisting travelers in similar last minute cases and can work directly with the Vietnam Immigration Department to speed up the process efficiently.

Please contact us immediately with your child’s application details (application code, full name, and email address was using in the visa application) so we can start assisting you right away.

Frequently asked questions

+Do I need to apply for a visa for my under 14 year old child?

If your children have their own passport, they must apply for a separate visa just like an adult.

+Can I apply for an e-visa while I am in Vietnam?

Electronic visas are issued to foreigners who are staying outside of Vietnam, not applicable to foreigners currently residing in Vietnam. Therefore, you can only apply for Vietnam e-visa after exiting Vietnam.

+How long does it take to complete an e-visa for Vietnam?

The visa processing time depends on several factors, including the applicant’s nationality, the accuracy and completeness of the submitted application, and the current workload of the Vietnam Immigration Department. If your visa application is submitted correctly, it will typically be processed within 3–5 working days. However, if your application requires additional verification or contains incorrect or incomplete information, the processing time may be extended.
