Are you an Australian citizen planning to visit Vietnam? We have some great news for you! Starting from August 15, 2023, Vietnam has officially announced that citizens of Australia can apply for a 90-day e-visa. This new policy comes as a result of the government’s resolution 127/NQ-CP, which grants 90-day e-visas to citizens of all countries.
Gone are the days when you had to visit the Vietnamese embassy or consulate to apply for a visa. With the introduction of the e-visa system, the process has become much simpler and more convenient. Now, all you need to do is visit the official website and apply for your e-visa online.
Vietnam offers multiple entry points for e-visa holders. Whether you prefer air travel, land border crossings, or sea routes, there are numerous options available. With 13 airports, 16 land border gates, and 13 sea border gates, you have the flexibility to choose the most convenient and suitable entry point for your travel plans.
The cost of a Vietnam e-visa for Australian citizens is US$25 for single-entry and US$50 for multiple entry. It’s important to note that the e-visa fee is non-refundable, regardless of whether your visa application is approved or denied.
In terms of processing time, under normal circumstances, e-visas are processed within 3 working days. However, during peak seasons or after holidays, it may take slightly longer. Therefore, it’s advisable to plan your trip and apply for your e-visa well in advance to avoid any last-minute delays.
One of the most valuable aspects of the new e-visa policy is the option for multiple entries. This means that you can travel to other countries and return to Vietnam without having to apply for a new visa each time. This flexibility allows you to explore neighboring nations and make the most of your time in the region.
For those visitors who are in a rush and want to avoid potential frustration, there is an alternative option available. Commercial websites provide a user-friendly interface and a simple application form, guaranteeing to deliver your e-visa on time. While this option may come with slightly higher costs, it ensures a hassle-free experience for those with time constraints.
The new 90-day e-visa policy for Australian citizens marks a significant step towards making travel to Vietnam more accessible and convenient. With the option of multiple entries and a streamlined online application process, exploring the beauty of Vietnam has never been easier.
So, if you’re an Australian citizen planning your next adventure, make sure to take advantage of the Vietnam e-visa. Visit the official website or opt for a commercial website to apply for your e-visa and embark on a journey filled with captivating landscapes, rich culture, and unforgettable experiences.
Remember, from August 15, 2023, Vietnam welcomes you with open arms and a simplified visa process. Get ready to immerse yourself in the wonders of Vietnam!
