Visas for Vietnam 🇻🇳
For some Vietnam is a very easy country to visit with a simple ‘Visa on Arrival’ process for nationalities such as the UK (not including Ireland) and a few other countries.
The ‘Visa on Arrival’ allows you 15 days when entering Vietnam. If you need longer or if your country does not qualify for the ‘Visa on Arrival’ then you can apply for a one-month visa either online or at your local Vietnamese consulate.
You can apply for a 1 month e-visa via the official ‘National Web Portal of Immigration’ here there is a whole FAQ section to help with any concerns you might have, you can find that here. It’s important to allow at least 5-7 working days for the visa to be processed.
IMPORTANT: Check your own visa eligibility as visas requirments can vary from country to country. This blog is just a guide and not an official source of information.

It’s important that you apply for this prior to travel as you may be asked at check-in when arriving at the airport.

Visas for Australia 🇦🇺
You sure will do! There are a couple of options and we suggest you organise this sooner rather than later as the application time can vary. We’ve broke down those options below;
Travel Only (No work) 🏄♀️
If you’re only looking at travelling in Australia and have no intentions of working or doing a longer stay than you’ll need to apply for a tourist visa ‘Electronic Travel Authority – Subclass 601‘. This is typically for 3 months and can be applied for online, find out more here.
Work & Travel (Working Holiday) 🦘
If you intend on working whilst travelling in Australia then you’ll need a ‘Working Holiday Visa’ (417) or ‘Work and Holiday Visa’ (462), depending on which country you’re from.
You can find out more and apply for your Visa via the Australian Government website. It’s a pretty simple process but as always it’s important that you double check things yourself before you apply/begin your travels.
There is also another option for those individuals looking to stay for upto 1 year in Australia (without working). Click here to find out more about the Subclass 600 Visitor Visa.
