Australian travelers who visit Vietnam frequently — for business meetings, family visits, or regional travel — often find a multiple-entry visa more convenient than applying fresh each time. Instead of a new visa for every trip, this visa type allows multiple entries and exits within its validity period. This guide explains how it works, real 2026 pricing, and what to watch out for.

What Is a Vietnam Multiple-Entry Visa?

A multiple-entry visa allows you to enter and exit Vietnam multiple times using the same eVisa, within its validity period (up to 90 days). Unlike a single-entry visa, which becomes invalid the moment you leave Vietnam, this is ideal for travelers who:

• Visit Vietnam for business on different dates within the same trip window
• Travel across neighboring countries and return to Vietnam
• Make short side trips while based in Vietnam

Who Needs a Multiple-Entry Visa?

Consider a multiple-entry visa if you:

• Have business dealings in Vietnam requiring multiple short visits during one trip window
• Are planning a multi-country Southeast Asia trip and will return to Vietnam
• Prefer not to reapply for a new eVisa between short side trips

How to Apply

Applying for a multiple-entry eVisa follows the exact same process as a standard eVisa, with one extra step:

1. Apply online through applyevisavietnam.com or the official government portal
2. Select "multiple-entry" instead of "single-entry" when completing the form
3. Provide your passport scan, photo, and travel details
4. Choose your processing speed — standard or urgent
5. Pay the applicable fee (standard fee + $25 USD)
6. Receive your eVisa by email as a PDF

Multiple-Entry eVisa Pricing (2026)

All fees below are in USD and include the government fee. Add $25 USD to any single-entry tier for multiple-entry.

These prices include the government fee — no separate stamping fee or cash payment required on arrival.

Longer-Validity Visas (6 Months / 1 Year)

The standard multiple-entry eVisa maxes out at 90 days, the same as a single-entry eVisa. If you need a visa valid for 6 months or longer — typically for extended business arrangements — this falls outside the standard eVisa system and involves a separate visa category with its own requirements, documentation, and processing route. Contact support directly for accurate current guidance if this applies to you, rather than assuming standard eVisa pricing or timelines will apply.

Requirements

To apply, you'll need:

1. Valid Australian passport (minimum 6 months' validity from your entry date)
2. Digital passport photo (4x6 cm, white background)
3. Travel itinerary showing your planned entries and exits
4. Completed online application form
5. Payment by Visa or Mastercard

For business-purpose visas, you may also need a Vietnam company invitation letter or business documentation — check with support if this applies to your situation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Wrong entry date — your visa is valid only from the exact date you specify
2. Incorrect passport details — even one typo can cause delay or rejection
3. Applying too late — standard processing takes 4-6 working days; urgent service costs more
4. Using unverified agencies — always use a trusted, transparent provider

Multiple-Entry vs. Single-Entry: Which Do You Need?

• Choose multiple-entry if: you plan a side trip to a neighboring country and back, or multiple separate visits within your trip window
• Choose single-entry if: you're staying in Vietnam for the whole trip with no plans to leave and re-enter

Single-entry is cheaper if you genuinely won't need to re-enter — multiple-entry is worth the extra $25 USD if there's any real chance you will.

Final Tips

• Apply early to avoid needing urgent (and more expensive) processing
• Check Vietnam's public holiday calendar, since the government portal closes on those dates
• Make sure your passport remains valid at least 6 months beyond your final exit date
• Keep a digital and printed copy of your eVisa with you at all times
