Is there an age limit for applying for a Vietnam visa?

There is no legal minimum or maximum age requirement to apply for a Vietnam visa, but minors must meet additional documentation requirements.

Additional documentation for minors

For applicants under 18 years old, some embassies or consulates may require additional documentation such as birth certificates, parental authorization letters or guardianship papers to accompany visa applications.

Children under 14 are generally required to travel with a parent or authorized guardian and immigration may ask for supporting documents upon arrival.

Age-related considerations for certain visa types

While tourist visas have no age restrictions, some specialized visas (e.g., student, work or retirement visas) might have age-related criteria or eligibility conditions.

Helpful advice for families

While traveling with your family, each person should carry their own passport and visa (if applicable). Well-prepared and accurate papers prevent unnecessary delays and guarantee an easy entry into Vietnam.

Summary: No age limit for Vietnam visa applications

Anyone can apply for a Vietnam visa, but minors must have certain documents. The age of a person does not change visa eligibility, but everyone must meet the requirements.
