Can a child be added to a parent's Vietnam e-visa, or does the child need a separate passport and visa?

TL;DR
No, you cannot add a child to a parent's e-visa — the online form doesn't support it. The child needs their own passport and visa, or can enter visa-free for up to 45 days if eligible.

The Vietnam e-visa application form has no option to add a child to a parent's visa. Options: get the child their own passport and visa, or enter visa-free for up to 45 days if your nationality qualifies.
