5 things we catch for Australians before submission
99.4% approval rate isn't luck — these 5 mistakes account for 87% of all rejections we've ever seen.
Australian "P" passport instead of "PA" tourist passport
Australia issues two passport types: "P" (standard) and "PA" (alternative). Vietnam Immigration ONLY accepts "P". If you have a "PA" passport (rare · usually emergency-issued) you need to upgrade to "P" before filing. Australian-specific quirk.
Photo wrong format/crop
4×6 cm · white background · face 80% of frame. Drugstore photos often wrong size. We recrop for $5.
Purpose-of-visit mismatch
Selecting "Business" but only having tourist documents = rejection. "Tourist" always safer.
Wrong tier for timeline
Selected "Standard" 3-5 days but travel in 2 days = rejection-by-timeline. We auto-suggest based on entry date.
Typo in passport number
Off-by-one digit invalidates the visa entirely. Letters O vs 0 · I vs 1 · 5 vs S. We double-check against passport photo.

Linh Tran · Lead Visa Specialist
"Australians get same-day Sydney consulate visa service · but e-visa via ATL is faster + cheaper. Most Aussie travel is 14-21 days · plan e-visa 5-7 days before departure. For NSW/QLD travelers · I monitor public holiday slots so applications don't stall."
