Vietnam visa requirements for Norfolk Island citizens
Norfolk Island is not included in Vietnam’s visa exemption list; therefore, Norfolk Island citizens are required to obtain a visa before entering Vietnam.
Currently, Norfolk Island travellers are eligible to apply for a Vietnam e-visa valid for up to 90 days, with single or multiple entries. To ensure your visa is processed smoothly within the standard 3–5 working days, it’s essential to carefully prepare all required documents and provide accurate information throughout the application process.
There is also a visa exemption for Norfolk Island citizens visiting Phu Quoc Island. Norfolk Island travellers may stay visa-free on Phu Quoc for up to 30 days if their visit is direct and they do not leave the island to travel elsewhere on the mainland.
What is the Vietnam visa requirement for Norfolk Island citizens?
To avoid delays or rejection when applying for your Vietnam e-visa, please make sure you have the following:
- Passport: Must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Vietnam or at least 1 month beyond your planned exit date and contain at least one blank page for visa stamping;
- Scan copy of passport: Provide a clear, full page scan of the passport data page (bio page) showing all details clearly, including your photo, personal information, and passport number;
- Recent portrait photo: A passport-sized photo taken within the last 6 months on a plain light background. The photo must clearly show your full face, with no hats or glasses that obscure facial features. It is not allowed to crop a portrait photo from the scanned copy of a passport and use it in the visa application;
- Trip information: Include the intended entry and exit dates, port of entry and exit and the address of your planned accommodation in Vietnam.
- Personal information: You must provide your current residential address and an active telephone number in your home country. Additionally, include the name, relationship, address, and contact number of a person to be reached in case of emergency;
- Valid payment method: A credit or debit card that supports international online payments for the visa fee.
Important notes when applying for a Vietnam visa
Usually, when you upload a scanned copy of your Norfolk Island passport and a portrait photo, the Vietnam e-visa portal automatically extracts your passport information — including your full name, date of birth, nationality, passport number, and passport expiry date — to complete the application form.
You must carefully review and verify all extracted information to ensure it exactly matches your passport. Any discrepancy, typo, or incorrect detail may result in visa denial or entry issues upon arrival in Vietnam.
