How numbers in Vietnam are built
A number in Vietnam is the country code +84 followed by a national number of 9 or 10 digits. The trunk prefix, where there is one, is dropped after the code.
Written locally as 0912 345 678, an example mobile number in Vietnam is dialed as +84 912 345 678 from abroad.
Leave out the leading 0 when you dial it with the country code.
Why a call to Vietnam fails to connect
- Keeping the leading 0: after +84 it is one digit too many, and the network rejects the call.
- Leaving out 0011 (or +): without it your carrier reads 84 as the start of a number in Australia, not as a country code.
- A wrong number of digits: a number in Vietnam has 9 or 10 digits after +84.
Best time to call
Vietnam is 4 h behind Australia. When it is 12:00 in Australia, it is 08:00 in Vietnam.
That gap moves between 3 h and 4 h during the year, because one of the two countries changes its clocks for daylight saving.
Australia changes its clocks for daylight saving, so its offset moves between UTC+10 and UTC+11 during the year.
Australia moves its clocks on April 5 and October 4.
Vietnam does not change its clocks for daylight saving, so the offset stays UTC+7 all year.
Where a country spans several time zones, this page uses its main one, so the real gap can differ by a few hours.
The weekend in Vietnam is Saturday and Sunday.

| Business hours, 09:00–18:00 in both | 13:00–18:00 | 09:00–14:00 |
When it is 09:00 in Australia, it is 05:00 in Vietnam.
When it is 09:00 in Vietnam, it is 13:00 in Australia.
