Following the decision by National Cabinet on 8 January 2021 and announcement from the Prime Minister, if you’re travelling to Australia you must provide evidence of a negative COVID-19 (PCR) test to your airline when checking in for your flight at the departure point.

• This applies to all travellers five years of age or older departing on flights on or after 22 January 2021.
• You must be tested 72 hours or less prior to departure and present a negative result when checking in prior to boarding your flight.
• If you transit through a third country on your return journey to Australia, you should check on any local requirements at your transit destination and follow the advice of local authorities on social distancing and mask wearing while in transit.
• If you or a member of your travelling group tests positive, you won’t be allowed to travel to Australia.
• Exemptions to the COVID-19 (PCR) testing requirements will only be applied in extenuating circumstances such as where there is no access to testing.

Anyone who has a negative test result and enters Australia must still complete mandatory 14-day quarantine at designated facilities in your port of arrival.

You can find a list of COVID-19 PCR testing locations in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang here.
