Direct flights from Sydney and Melbourne put Ho Chi Minh City within a working day's travel. Australian citizens are on Vietnam's list for e-visas just like everyone else, and so are Indians, with one important difference: you apply as an Indian national.
Your passport decides. Australian PR or a student visa doesn't change your nationality. Indian passport holders apply for Vietnam's e-visa: USD 25 single entry or USD 50 multiple entry, up to 90 days, usually ready in about 3 working days.
Choosing your entry and exit points
The e-visa lists where you'll enter Vietnam. Pick the airport you'll actually land at:
| Flying from | Common entry airport | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Sydney / Melbourne | Tan Son Nhat (Ho Chi Minh City) | Direct flights; fly home from Hanoi if doing north to south |
| Perth | Tan Son Nhat (Ho Chi Minh City) | Often via Singapore or Kuala Lumpur |
| Any city via Singapore | Noi Bai (Hanoi) or Da Nang | Check your connection doesn't need a Singapore visa |
Flying via Singapore? Your Australian visa or PR can make you eligible for Singapore's 96-hour visa-free transit if you want a stopover.

Before you fly back to Australia
- PR holders: check your travel facility (usually 5 years from grant). Expired? Apply for a Resident Return Visa before you leave.
