At Vietnam Dental Travel, we’re here to make the entire experience stress-free from the start. This guide covers everything you need to know: from applying for your Vietnam visa to preparing for your dental holiday.

1. Do You Need a Visa to Enter Vietnam?

Yes—Australian & New Zealand passport holders do need a visa to enter Vietnam. Luckily, the process is quick and simple.

☝️ Option 1: E-Visa (Electronic Visa) – Recommended

Vietnam offers a convenient e-visa program for citizens of Australia and New Zealand

• Apply at: https://evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn
• Validity: Up to 30 days (single or multiple entry)
• Processing time: 3–5 business days

This is the fastest and easiest option for most travellers.

✌️ Option 2: Apply via Embassy or Consulate:

Alternatively, you can apply for a visa through the Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate in Australia & New Zealand. This process usually takes 5–7 business days.

2. What You’ll Need to Apply for a Visa

Before applying, make sure you have:
