Australian citizens require a visa to travel to Vietnam. You must either arrange a visa prior to departure, or obtain an official approval letter to get a visa on arrival. We recommend the second option because it helps you saving your time and easy to get. You can apply for a visa any time from six months before your trip.
Single or Multiple Entry?
The standard visa is a single entry visa. This means that you can only enter the country once. If you plan to leave Vietnam and then return on the same trip, you will need to apply for a multiple entry visa before you leave Australia. This cannot be amended after you arrive in Vietnam.
