Vietnam Visa Cost for Australians: Government Fee
All Australian passport holders require a Vietnam eVisa. The government fee is the same regardless of nationality and is paid directly on evisa.gov.vn at the time of application.
| eVisa type | USD (govt fee) | ~AUD | Validity | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single entry | USD 25 | ~AUD 38 | 30 or 90 days | Same price for 30-day and 90-day. Always choose 90 days. |
| Multiple entry | USD 50 | ~AUD 76 | 30 or 90 days | Recommended for multi-country SE Asia trips or visa runs. |
| Refund | Non-refundable once submitted. Fee is lost if rejected, delayed, or trip cancelled. Verify all details before paying. | |||
Payment: international Visa or Mastercard credit/debit card. Australian bank cards accepted. Amount charged in Vietnamese Dong (VND) at prevailing exchange rate. AUD estimate based on August 2026 rates (~1 USD = 1.51 AUD).
Why 30-day and 90-day cost the same for Australians
Vietnam's government fee is based on entry type (single or multiple), not duration. A 90-day single-entry eVisa costs the same as a 30-day single-entry eVisa: USD 25 (~AUD 38). There is no reason to choose 30 days. Always select 90 days for maximum flexibility at no extra cost.
Agency Processing Costs: All Tiers with AEST/AEDT Cutoffs

The SIN Entry Port Error — Most Costly Mistake for Australians
Most Australian flights to Vietnam transit Singapore Changi (SIN). The most common — and most costly — error is entering SIN as the entry port instead of the Vietnamese airport. This error is not flagged at submission. It surfaces during immigration review, triggering Amendment Required silently with no email. Processing stops. Clock resets. If close to the flight date, a Speed Up (from AUD 98) is needed to restart priority processing.
| Australian departure | Wrong port | Correct port | Destination |
|---|---|---|---|
| SYD / MEL / BNE via Singapore → HCMC | SIN | SGN | Ho Chi Minh City |
| SYD / MEL via Singapore → Hanoi | SIN | HAN | Hanoi |
| PER via Singapore → HCMC or Hanoi | SIN | SGN / HAN | HCMC or Hanoi |
| Any AU city via any transit → Da Nang | SIN | DAD | Da Nang |
