Visa Application: Documents and Processing Time

To apply for a Vietnam visa at the Embassy or a Consulate, you need to prepare:

  • A valid passport with at least six (06) months of remaining validity from your planned entry date to Vietnam
  • A completed visa application form (form NA2, available on the embassy's official website)
  • Two (02) passport-sized photos (4x6cm, white background, no glasses) taken within the last 6 months
  • A clear copy of your passport bio page
  • The applicable visa fee, paid as instructed by the office

Standard embassy visa processing takes 5-7 working days. Fees vary by visa type and entry option (single or multiple entry). Contact your nearest office directly to confirm the current fee schedule before you submit your application, as fees can change.

Passport Renewal and Other Consular Services

From 1 April 2026, all three offices in Australia accept in-person applications for electronic ordinary passports (chip-embedded). Vietnamese nationals must appear in person to submit biometric data: photographs and fingerprints.

Other consular services available at the Vietnam Embassy in Australia:

  • Consular certification for Vietnamese nationals living overseas
  • Registration of marriage, birth, and death for Vietnamese citizens in Australia

Vietnam E-Visa for Australian Residents: No Embassy Visit Needed

Australian residents do not need to visit the Vietnam Embassy in Australia to get a visa. The Vietnam e-visa is available to citizens of all countries, including Australia, and you apply for it entirely online.

The e-visa is valid for up to 90 days, with single or multiple entry options. It is accepted at all international airports in Vietnam, 16 land border gates, and 13 international seaports.

How to Apply for a Vietnam E-Visa from Australia

  1. Go to evisa.gov.vn, the official Vietnamese government e-visa portal.
  2. Complete the online application form with your personal details, travel dates, and planned port of entry.
  3. Upload a scanned copy of your passport bio page and a passport photo (4x6cm, white background, no glasses).
  4. Pay the government e-visa fee by international card: 25 USD for single entry or 50 USD for multiple entry.
  5. Receive your approved e-visa by email within 3-5 working days.
  6. Print the e-visa and present it at the port of entry upon arrival in Vietnam.

Note: If your application contains errors or missing documents, processing may take longer than the standard 3-5 working days.

Urgent Vietnam E-Visa: Same-Day Processing for Australian Travelers

If your departure is within the next 24-48 hours and you cannot wait for standard processing, apply for an urgent Vietnam e-visa on vietnamvisa.com.

The service includes a 24-hour urgent option and a same-day rush option. The team checks your documents for errors before submission to the official portal, which reduces the risk of processing delays. This is the fastest way for Australian travelers to obtain a Vietnam visa without visiting the Embassy in person.

Embassy Visa vs. E-Visa: Which Option Is Right for You?

Factor Embassy Visa Vietnam E-Visa
Application method In person or by post Fully online
Processing time 5-7 working days 3-5 working days
Embassy visit required Yes No
Ports of entry All border gates All airports, 16 land gates, 13 seaports
Maximum stay Up to 12 months (for some visa types) Up to 90 days
Best for Long-stay, business, or complex visa types Tourism and short trips

For most Australian tourists visiting Vietnam, the e-visa is the faster and more practical option. The embassy route makes sense if you need a long-stay visa, a business visa, or a visa type not covered by the e-visa program.
