Urgent Vietnam Visa for Australians: 5-Hour, 2.5-Hour, and 1.5-Hour Options
Direct Answer
Three urgent tiers cover most same-day needs: 5-Hour ($125), 2.5-Hour ($155), and 1.5-Hour ($185), all during Vietnamese government working hours. Every tier delivers the identical government-issued e-visa — pick the cheapest one that still fits your actual timeline, rather than defaulting to the fastest out of nervousness.
If your flight is later today and you're deciding between the fast urgent tiers, here's the real pricing, an honest comparison to the alternatives, and how to pick the right one.
Why These Tiers Work Well for Australians
- Choose the tier matching your actual timeline, rather than one-size-fits-all
- Fully online, no embassy visit required
- Refund on the processing fee if delivery is delayed

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a Vietnam visa in 1.5 hours?
Yes, during Vietnamese government working hours. No exact time can be absolutely guaranteed, since Vietnamese immigration makes the final decision, not any agency.
Are the 2.5-hour and 5-hour tiers cheaper?
Yes — 5-hour is $125 and 2.5-hour is $155, both less than the 1.5-hour tier at $185. All three deliver the identical visa.
Can children apply for the urgent e-visa?
Yes, every traveler including children needs their own separate application.
What is the visa's validity period?
You can choose 30 or 90 days at application, at the same cost — 90 days is generally the better default.
Are these tiers available on weekends?
No, these standard urgent tiers depend on Vietnamese government working hours, Monday to Friday. A separate weekend service and boarding letter exist outside that window.
