Travel plans don't always go smoothly. You may have booked a flight to Vietnam only to realize you forgot to apply for a visa, or your eVisa application hasn't been approved yet. For Australian citizens, this is stressful — but there's a genuine solution: 1-hour urgent processing.
Why Australian Travelers Need a 1-Hour Emergency Visa
1. You Forgot to Apply Before Your Flight
It's surprisingly common for travelers to arrive at the airport without a valid visa, especially if they mistakenly assume they're visa-exempt. Airlines will not allow you to board without an approved visa.
2. Your eVisa Application Is Delayed
Standard eVisa processing takes 4-6 working days, but delays can happen. If your flight is today or tomorrow, waiting for the standard queue isn't an option.
3. Your Travel Plans Changed Last Minute
Business meetings, emergencies, or spontaneous trips sometimes require same-day travel to Vietnam. Standard processing can't meet such a tight deadline.
4. Your Existing Application Has an Error
If your submitted application has a mistake in your passport number, date of birth, or entry port, you may need urgent correction and reprocessing to avoid a denied entry.
What the 1-Hour Emergency Visa Actually Is
The 1-hour tier delivers a fully approved eVisa — the same official electronic document Vietnam Immigration issues for any standard application, just processed with priority. It is not a separate "pre-approval letter," and there's nothing further to complete once you land. It's accepted at a growing network of international airports (Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Nha Trang, and more).
How the 1-Hour Visa Service Works
- Contact ApplyEvisaVietnam.com via email, WhatsApp, or the website form
- Send your passport scan (valid at least 6 months from your entry date)
- Provide your flight details (departure time, arrival airport in Vietnam)
- Pay for the urgent visa service — $215 USD for the 30-60 minute tier
- Receive your fully approved eVisa by email, typically within your chosen timeframe
- Board your flight and present your eVisa at Vietnamese immigration on arrival — no separate stamping counter, no cash required
Required Documents
- Passport scan — clear image, valid at least 6 months from your entry date
- Flight booking confirmation — helps confirm urgency and timing
- Hotel booking or Vietnam address — recommended but any hotel name is sufficient on the application
- Payment confirmation for the visa fee
Processing Time and Fees (2026)
All fees below are in USD, apply to a single-entry visa, and already include the government fee — there is no separate fee to pay at the airport. Multiple-entry adds $25 to any tier.
| Processing time | Fee (USD) |
|---|---|
| Weekend / Public Holiday | $230 |
| 30–60 Minutes | $215 |
| 1.5 Hours | $185 |
| 2.5 Hours | $155 |
| 5 Hours | $125 |
| Normal 4–6 Days | $50 |
Refund guarantee: if delivery misses your committed timeframe, the processing fee is refunded 100%. Processing begins only after payment is confirmed. The government portal itself is closed on weekends and Vietnamese public holidays, but urgent processing via the dedicated Weekend/Holiday tier still runs during those times.

FAQ
Is the 1-hour visa a fully approved eVisa or just a letter? +
It's the same official, fully approved eVisa as any standard application, not a separate "pre-approval letter." There's nothing further to process once you land.
Can I apply if my flight is leaving soon? +
Yes, but contact us as early as possible, ideally at least 2-3 hours before departure to allow for processing and check-in time.
Can I use this service at land borders? +
It's accepted at a growing network of international airports and other entry points. Confirm the current eligible checkpoint with support if you're entering somewhere other than a major airport.
Will the airline accept my eVisa? +
Yes. Airlines check for a valid, approved eVisa before boarding. We ensure all details on your application are accurate to avoid any issues at check-in.
What if I already applied for an eVisa but it's not ready yet? +
Request a speed-up on your existing application rather than submitting a new one, which can create a data mismatch and delay both files.
