I hold two passports. Which one should I use to enter Vietnam?

Use the passport that gives you the easiest entry, and use the same passport to enter and leave. A UK passport gets a 45-day visa exemption, while an Australian passport needs an e-visa. The simplest choice is the exempt passport.

Your visa or exemption is linked to the passport you show at the border. If you enter on one passport and leave on another, immigration may not find your entry record, which causes delays and questions. Airlines also check the passport you book with.

If you apply for an e-visa, use the exact passport you will carry in Vietnam. You can apply for a Vietnam e-visa online with either passport, but the visa works only with the one you enter.

Dual nationals who are also Vietnamese origin should check separate rules. See our exemption guide and your airline's rules before you book.
