Australian passport / Working Holiday
Check the essential requirements, then follow the five stages to prepare your application and trip.
Governments can change visa requirements at any time. Always check the official government pages before applying.
A current government Australian permit procedure establishes a substantive route. Age, Australian letter method, visa execution and charges, insurance, and precise work/study allowances remain unresolved. The age range stays null.
Australia →VietnamRequirements, application steps and preparation before departure.
Step 1
A historical 2015 Australian announcement gives ages 18–30. The current Vietnamese procedure does not state age, and full treaty text was not retrieved. No assessed range is created from that cross-check alone.

Vietnam’s government explained this duration in 2016; the MFA register marks the agreement in force. Individual dates and current mission instructions control.

The 2025 Australian permit procedure gives no numeric initial-maintenance threshold. Australia’s inbound AUD 5,000 rule is not transferred.

The 2025 annex cites finance circular 140/2016. Visa and consular charges are unconfirmed and may be separate.

This is explicit in Vietnam’s 2025 Australian procedure, not Australia’s cap for Vietnamese citizens. No availability is inferred.

This is an individual application lead time, not an annual opening.

The 2025 procedure does not establish a Vietnamese proficiency threshold for Australians. Confirm document certification and translation with the mission.

The permit checklist does not state a Working Holiday insurance policy or amount. A medical certificate is not insurance. Confirm visa and entry cover separately.

Form 4 also requires a medical certificate within twelve months, police record within six months, passport and travel means. Use copies with originals for comparison or certified copies. The Australian letter method is unresolved.

Step 2
At least 30 days before intended entry, submit Australian Work and Holiday permit Form 4 to a Vietnamese mission in Australia. The mission forwards a complete file to the Employment Department, Ministry of Home Affairs. Permit approval and entry-visa processing are distinct stages.
Step 3
Read the entire approval notice: identity, dates, entry deadline and conditions. Keep it available offline. Do not assume the visa starts on your preferred date.
Step 4
The 2025 annex names the Ministry of Home Affairs Employment Department; older material names MOLISA. Confirm the government letter and visa execution with the current mission. Do not substitute a tourist eVisa.
Step 5
Carry the issued permit and appropriate visa. Follow written work, registration and departure conditions. Clarify employer and study limits before committing, because the retrieved procedure does not settle them.
The current procedure and government explanation establish a prior permit stage. Exact employer limits were not verified from retrieved issuing text.
The permit procedure does not establish a course maximum, and full treaty text was not retrieved. Other passports’ or Australia’s inbound allowances are not transferred.
