Preparing eVisas for parents and children: what to gather, how to avoid mismatches and what it costs.

FAMILY PREPARATION
1List every traveller
2Gather each passport
3Check details one by one
4Choose one speed for all

Fees are per traveller.

Direct answer: For a family, prepare one Vietnam eVisa application per traveller, each with that person's own passport details and photos, and choose the same speed so everyone is approved on the same timeline. Fees apply per traveller: the government fee is $25 single / $50 multiple, and our all-inclusive prices start at $50 each.

Families usually make the same few mistakes: swapped details, mismatched names and mixed entry types. A little structure up front avoids all of them.

Key Takeaways

  • Prepare one application per traveller, with each person's own passport details.
  • Use the same speed and entry type for everyone unless plans differ.
  • Keep a simple list of names, passport numbers and dates so nothing gets swapped.
  • Check the official portal for current rules on children and minors.
  • Ask us for a free review before submitting for the whole group.

What to Prepare for Each Traveller

  • A clear photo of the passport data page.
  • A recent portrait photo.
  • Full name, passport number, date of birth and nationality, exactly as in the passport.
  • Arrival date and entry point (usually the same for the family).
  • An email address you can check, shared or individual.

Rules for children and minors are set by the Vietnamese government. Confirm them on the official portal before you apply.

A Simple Family Workflow

1
Make a traveller list
One row per person: name, passport number, date of birth, passport expiry.
2
Check each passport
Compare every entry with the passport data page, not from memory.
3
Choose entry type and validity
They cannot be changed after payment. If one person may travel separately, discuss it with us first.
4
Choose one speed
Same speed for all keeps arrivals on one timeline. Fees are per traveller.
5
Send a family review
Send the list on WhatsApp and we review it for free before you submit.

Common Family Mistakes

  • Swapping details between family members.
  • A child's name or date of birth typed differently from the passport.
  • Different entry types for people who plan to travel together.
  • Applying for some travellers first and leaving the rest too late.
  • Applying twice for someone who looked "missing" in the system. Message us first.
