The flight to carry the citizens is scheduled to depart from Sydney. It is a priority flight conducted under the Government’s direction to bring home people under 18 years old, elderly and sick people, students who did not have accommodations due to dormitory closures, guest workers with expired visa and work permit, and stranded tourists.

The citizens will pay for the air tickets and will be placed in concentrated quarantine facilities for 14 days.

The Vietnamese Embassy in Australia recommended that citizens who wish to return Vietnam should urgently use their Gmail accounts to register and fill in an online form before 17:00 on May 18.

The diplomatic agency noted that when completing the registration form, citizens need to present their situation and their need for returning home. Vietnamese people who have permanent residency or Australian citizenship are not considered priority people to return to Vietnam at this time.
