      Thank you for reading.
      If Ernest and Hang are married we suggest you contact the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade from the details here https://www.dfat.gov.au/pages/contact-us

      You could also contact the Vietnam Embassy in Australia on these contact details https://vietnamembassy.org.au/contact-us

      We are unaware of the current restrictions on spouses entering Vietnam. Your inquiry is also unclear if you wish to return to Vietnam, or for Ms Hang to join you in Australia.

      Good luck!
