How to Get a Vietnam Visa and Prepare for Your Dental Travel Experience (For Australian & New Zealand Citizens)

Thinking about travelling to Vietnam for high-quality dental care—at a fraction of the cost back home—and combining it with a relaxing holiday?

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 and 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 both Australia and New Zealand.

Apply at: https://evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn

Validity: Up to 90 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 or 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:

A passport valid for at least 6 months after your planned entry date

A passport-style photo (4x6 cm, white background)

A scan or photo of your passport’s ID page

Basic travel details (entry date, accommodation address)

A booking confirmation letter from Vietnam Dental Travel (we’ll provide this)

💡 Need assistance? We’re happy to walk you through the process.
