Applying once and having it run slower than expected is a common, fixable situation — not a reason to start over.
Why Speeding Up Beats Reapplying
Submitting a second application while the first is still processing creates two records tied to the same passport. This typically causes confusion during review and can delay both files rather than resolving anything. It also means paying the 25 USD government fee twice, since it isn't refunded on a duplicate submission. Speeding up the existing application avoids both problems.
How Speed-Up Works
- Locate the application registration code from evisa.gov.vn
- Take a screenshot of the current status page
- Provide these, along with a passport bio page scan, to request priority review
- Choose a processing tier based on how much time remains before departure
- Receive the approved e-visa by email once processed
Speed-Up Pricing
| Speed-Up Package | Fee (government fee already paid) |
|---|---|
| Standard 4–6 days | 25 USD |
| Urgent 3 days | 65 USD |
| Urgent 1 day | 85 USD |
| Urgent 5 hours | 100 USD |
| Urgent 30–60 minutes | 190 USD |
These prices are lower than an equivalent new application because the 25 USD government fee was already paid on evisa.gov.vn. See the full breakdown on our speed up an existing Vietnam e-visa application page.
If the Application Was Rejected, Not Just Delayed
A rejection is different from a delay. If Vietnamese immigration has denied the application — usually due to a document or data issue — the fix is identifying the cause, correcting it, and submitting a new, corrected application, since a rejected file can't simply be sped up. See Vietnam visa rejected or incorrect? How to fix it.
Visa Validity for Australian Citizens
Regardless of processing speed, the Vietnam e-visa is valid for up to 90 days, single- or multiple-entry. Speeding up an application doesn't change its validity period — only how quickly the decision is delivered.
Our Refund Guarantee
This covers our own processing commitment. It doesn't extend to cases where Vietnamese immigration itself denies the application, which is outside any agency's control — that's why accurate original documents matter.

FAQ: Speed Up Vietnam Visa for Australians
Can an existing Vietnam e-visa application be sped up?
Yes. If the application is already submitted on evisa.gov.vn and still shows "Processing," it can be requested for priority review rather than starting a new application.
Should Australians submit a new application if their e-visa is delayed?
No. Submitting a duplicate application tends to create confusion in the review system and can delay both applications. Requesting a speed-up on the existing one is the correct approach.
How much does it cost to speed up an existing Vietnam e-visa for Australians?
Speed-up pricing is lower than a new application at the same speed, since the 25 USD government fee was already paid. It ranges from 25 USD for standard speed-up up to 190 USD for the fastest 30–60 minute tier.
What information is needed to speed up an existing application?
The application registration code, a passport bio page scan, and a screenshot of the current status shown on evisa.gov.vn.
How long is the Vietnam e-visa valid for Australian citizens?
Up to 90 days, single- or multiple-entry, regardless of whether the application was sped up or processed at standard speed.
