WHY THIS ROUTE

Why people in Australia call Vietnam

Australia is home to one of the largest Vietnamese diaspora communities in the world. Hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese Australians maintain close ties with family and contacts back in Vietnam.

Family and community ties

As of June 2024, around 318,760 Vietnamese-born people were living in Australia, making it the sixth-largest migrant community in the country. Many maintain regular phone contact with relatives in Vietnam, especially older family members who may not use internet-based communication.

  • Vietnamese communities concentrated in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane

Students studying in Australia

Vietnam is one of Australia's top sources of international students, with over 35,000 Vietnamese students enrolled across Australian institutions in 2024. Students regularly call home to stay in touch with family during their studies.

  • Over 35,000 Vietnamese students enrolled in Australian higher education and VET in 2024
  • Vietnam became Australia's 3rd-largest source of new international students in 2023/24

Business and trade connections

Vietnam's rapid economic growth since the 1990s has strengthened business ties between the two countries. Importers, exporters, and professionals in Australia often need to reach contacts in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and other Vietnamese commercial centres by phone.

COMMON CHALLENGES

Challenges when calling Vietnam from Australia

International calls to Vietnam come with a few practical hurdles. Here's what to watch for and how to handle them.

Dialing format confusion

Vietnam uses country code +84 and requires dropping the leading '0' from the local number when dialing internationally. Mobile numbers are 9 digits after +84, while landline formats vary by area code length. Getting the format wrong often results in failed calls.

Time zone coordination

Vietnam (UTC+7) is 3 hours behind Australia's east coast (AEST, UTC+10). During Australian daylight saving time (AEDT, roughly October–April), the gap increases to 4 hours. Western Australia (AWST) is only 1 hour ahead of Vietnam year-round. Planning calls requires accounting for these differences.

High carrier rates

Standard international calling rates from Australian mobile carriers to Vietnam can be expensive, especially for regular callers. Many people on this route call frequently, so costs add up quickly with traditional carrier plans.

Reaching older family members

Many older relatives in Vietnam use landline phones or basic mobile handsets and may not have reliable internet access for app-based calling. A direct phone call is often the most practical way to reach them.

Calling tips

  • Always use the format +84 followed by the 9-digit number (drop the leading 0 from the Vietnamese number).
  • For landlines, the area code is part of the number: Hanoi is +84 24 xxxx xxxx, Ho Chi Minh City is +84 28 xxxx xxxx.
  • From an Australian landline, dial 0011 84 then the number. From a mobile, use +84.
  • Save frequently called Vietnamese numbers in the international +84 format to avoid re-entering codes each time.
  • If a call doesn't connect, double-check that you've removed the leading 0 from the local number.

Business etiquette

  • Vietnamese business culture values respectful greetings. Use formal titles (Anh, Chị, or professional titles) unless invited to be informal.
  • Avoid calling during the midday break (roughly 11:30 AM–1:00 PM Vietnam time), which is widely observed.
  • Tet (Lunar New Year) is the most important holiday in Vietnam — expect reduced availability for business calls during this period, typically late January or early February.
  • When calling businesses, be aware that Vietnamese office hours generally run 8:00 AM–5:00 PM (ICT), Monday to Friday.
