Business Travel Requirements for a Vietnam Visa for Australian Citizens

  1. Visa Validity

    Visa is valid for the specific dates requested. Entry and exit must occur within these dates.

    The validity of the issued visa is at the discretion of the Embassy/Consulate and may vary to that advertised.

  2. Duration of Stay

    Visas are issued with specific entry and exit dates which are based on the dates requested on the visa application form and the visa validity selected. Travel must be completed within those dates.

    The duration of stay issued on the visa is at the discretion of the Embassy/Consulate and may vary to that advertised.

  3. Passport

    The applicant's actual passport. The passport must:
    • Be valid for six months beyond exit date
    • Have two blank facing visa pages
  4. Copy of Passport Identification Page

    A clear photocopy of the information page (biodata page) from the applicant's passport.

    Visalink can supply this requirement at a fee of $5.50 + GST per page if not received with the application. This will minimise the risk of delay for successful visa issuance.

  5. Business Introduction Letter

    You are required to provide a Business Introduction Letter from your Australian-based company. Be certain your letter meets the specific requirements of the consulate by using our Digital Introduction Cover Letter. Visit https://visalink.com.au/bcl-order to get started.

    Alternatively, please use the sample Business Introduction Letter provided at https://visalink.com.au/forms?formname=Business-Introduction-Letter-Sample.pdf using the exact language and format provided in order to prevent a rejection and possible delays with your visa request.

    You must provide an approval letter from the Department of Immigration in Vietnam. The inviting company in Vietnam will need to apply for the approval letter on behalf of the applicant through the Department of Immigration in Vietnam. A copy is acceptable. Please ensure the " Department of Immigration Approval Document " is addressed to the Vietnamese Consulate Sydney, Australia as the place of submission.
  7. Visa Application Form

    The Consulate of Vietnam requires a visa application form that is completed online. To access the form, visit the following website: https://visa.mofa.gov.vn/Homepage.aspx. Upon completion, you must provide a printed copy of the online visa application form. The visa application form must:

    Please Note: Applicants under the age of 18 years who have signed their own passport can sign the visa application form. Applicants who are under the age of 18 years who do not have a signature in the passport, must have the visa application form signed by a parent/guardian.
