Does each family member need a separate Vietnam arrival card/QR code?

TL;DR

Officially, Vietnam's arrival card should be filled out separately for each traveler, and everyone should have their own QR code. In practice, when entering as a group (e.g., via a travel agency), border staff sometimes only check one QR code for the whole group.

What the community said

A traveler questioned whether their travel agency did it correctly by issuing just one QR code for three people, claiming one form covers everyone — though the rule is supposed to be one per person.

1 QR code for 3 people — questionable

Another traveler explained the arrival card is usually filled out in advance, and the resulting QR code likely won't even be checked at the border.

QR code often not checked

The original question was whether the arrival card must be filled out separately for each family member, since the travel agency provided only one QR code for the whole family.
