Fill Your Passport

Important info for Dual Citizens (European nations and Australia).

The European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) is due to be implemented toward the end of 2026. Once implemented, travellers visiting any of the 30 participating European countries visa-free will need to get an ETIAS travel authorisation. The ETIAS is different to the European Entry/Exit System (EES).

Dual citizens of participating European countries or Ireland will not be eligible for an ETIAS travel authorisation. If you’re a dual citizen, once the system is implemented you will not be able to enter any participating countries using your Australian passport. You will have to enter using the passport from your other country of citizenship.

If you don’t have a passport from your other country of citizenship, apply for one soon. Application wait times in some countries can be very long.

I know many of you have been waiting (very patiently!) for part two of my South American adventure. After the response to my first blog—and hearing from so many of you, plus helping a few of you lock in your own trips—I couldn’t wait to share what came next.

So, where did I head after leaving Ecuador? Peru.

My second week in Vietnam was spent in Hoi An and I think I fell a little bit in love! I’m working on a blog to recap everything but for now….. enjoy some pics.

Thanks to Vietnam Travel & Cruise

I’ve just spent the last week exploring a small slice of Vietnam with the incredible team at Vietnam Travel & Cruise- vibrant city of Saigon, the peaceful Mekong Delta and the tropical island paradise of Phu Quoc.

Our time in Saigon started with a stay at the beautiful Caravelle Saigon, perfectly located amongst fantastic restaurants, shopping and the energy of the city. We explored some of the city’s most iconic landmarks including the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon, the historic Saigon Central Post Office and the Independence Palace. A visit to the War Remnants Museum was incredibly confronting, but also a powerful reminder of the resilience and spirit of the Vietnamese people.

From there, we travelled to the stunning Mekong Delta, cruising along the Ben Tre River, visiting a local coconut processing workshop and gaining a glimpse into everyday life along the waterways. Our home for two nights was the charming Victoria Can Tho Resort, which provided the perfect relaxing escape from the bustle of the city.

The final stop was the beautiful island of Phu Quoc — and it’s easy to see why it’s becoming such a popular destination for a flop-and-drop holiday. We stayed at the gorgeous Mövenpick Resort Waverly Phu Quoc, tucked away from the busy town centre and home to one of the best hotel pools I’ve ever seen. It was the perfect way to finish this part of the journey.

Next stop… Hoi An!
