Other important information

CLIMATE & AVERAGE TEMPERATURES
Vietnam  
In August and September, Ho Chi Minh City experiences warm and humid weather, with temperatures ranging from 24°C to 32°C. As part of the rainy season, the city sees frequent heavy showers, typically in the afternoons, but these are often short-lived. Despite the rain, the temperatures remain consistently warm, and the city's vibrant atmosphere continues with plenty of indoor and outdoor activities available between showers.

Cambodia  
In September and October, Cambodia remains in the rainy season, with warm and humid conditions across the country. Temperatures generally range from 24°C to 33°C, with frequent afternoon or evening showers that gradually decrease toward the end of October. Phnom Penh, Oudong, Angkor Ban, and Kampong Cham experience similar weather, with high humidity and periodic rainfall that keeps the landscapes lush and river levels high. Siem Reap sees heavy showers, particularly in September, but the rain enhances the beauty of the surrounding temples, making sites like Angkor Wat even more striking against the vibrant green landscape. While rain can bring occasional disruptions, it also means fewer tourists and a more serene atmosphere for exploration.

Weather
We always suggest referring to an online source for the most up-to-date weather information for your destination/s.

FLIGHTS

Some countries will refuse entry if you are unable to present your certificate. It's also common for your home country to request a Yellow Fever certificate upon arrival.
You must check with your doctor well before leaving home about the Yellow Fever requirements for the countries you'll be visiting.

Visas

Vietnam
Australian passport holders are eligible to apply online for a single entry electronic visa (e-visa), valid for up to a maximum of 90 days. Lodge your application online (for a non-refundable fee) with the Vietnamese National Web Portal of Immigration. You will be given a unique code to track your visa application status. Once your visa is granted, you must print it out and present it at check in. Keep this e-visa print out with you at all times during your travel in Vietnam.

Some private online visa services and travel agents have scammed travellers or been involved in the public disclosure of the personal information of applicants for visas and 'visa issued on arrival' approval letters. To avoid such scams, only use official Government of Vietnam services to arrange your visa. Visa and other entry and exit conditions (such as currency, customs and quarantine regulations) change regularly. Contact the nearest Embassy or Consulate of Vietnam for up-to-date information.

Cambodia
For Australian and New Zealand passport holders to enter Cambodia you'll need a visa. You can apply for an e-visa online through the Cambodian Government's official portal www.evisa.gov.kh or through an embassy or consulate of Cambodia. Alternatively, you can get a tourist visa on arrival.

All travellers are also required to submit the Cambodia e-Arrival Card within 7 days before their arrival. See https://www.arrival.gov.kh/ for more information

Important: 
• Please start arranging your visa three weeks before departure to account for any delays due to consulate operating hours.
• Visa rules are subject to change. Please check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination/s you are visiting once you receive your travel documentation to ensure you have the most up to date information.
• It is your responsibility to be travel-ready and ensure that you are aware and comply with any destination or travel requirements, including the validity of all required travel documents.
• Passengers who are not Australian citizens must also check with the respective consulate or visa agency to determine what their visa requirements are and what personal identification is required.
• It is also important to note that some areas of employment, such as journalism, government authorities and charity organisations, may have additional restrictions in applying for visas. This may, in turn, affect the type of application required.

Travel insurance 

Embarking on your next trip is exciting, and while you hope the unexpected does not happen, it is best to be prepared. We strongly recommend you take out travel insurance when making your booking. Whether it’s a potential medical emergency, a flight cancellation, a delayed suitcase, or an unforeseen event, it's important to ensure you're adequately protected.
