Australia visa for Vietnamese citizens
e-Visa (apply online)
🇻🇳 Vietnamese passport → 🇦🇺 Australia: yes — an e-visa, applied for online before travel.
How it works
Apply online before you travel: passport scan, photo, fee. Approval typically takes a few days — apply at least a week ahead, print or save the approval, and carry it.
Heads-up: Australia commonly asks for proof of onward travel (visa/eTA stage and airline check-in).
Before the airport: run the "Will I board?" checklist for this route →
Beyond Australia: the Vietnam passport
The 🇻🇳 Vietnam passport ranks #161 of 199 worldwide, entering 52 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (see the world ranking).
Also visa-free on the Vietnam passport: 🇫🇲 Micronesia (30 days), 🇹🇭 Thailand (60 days), 🇮🇩 Indonesia (30 days) — all 52 open destinations.
Going the other way? Australian citizens visiting Vietnam need an e-Visa, applied for online before travel.
