Are you a Vietnamese citizen who wants to visit Australia? As from 01 July 2012, the Australian government has made it much easier for Vietnamese citizens to apply for a visa to enter into their country.

Getting an Australian Visa can be a stressful experience. The Australian Embassy in Hanoi is swamped with applications, and they can take weeks to process. If you or your family need to attend an important business meeting or planned event, you’ll want to get the visa as quickly as possible. We provide a fast & flexible service that will get you to your meeting or event on time.

Digital Passenger Declarations

It is a requirement from the Australian Government that you complete a Digital Passenger Declaration (DPD). The DPD requests critical health information required for entry into Australia. You must be able to provide evidence that the critical information was completed before boarding the aircraft.

You must show airline staff at check-in that you have completed the DPD and provide relevant supporting documentation as evidence. Passengers who do not complete a DPD prior to check-in may be referred to Australian Border Force Officers on arrival and face unnecessary delays.

The DPD can be completed by downloading the mobile app from the App Store (Apple) or Google Play store (Android), or via a web form.

More information on the DPD can be found on the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs website.
