If you come from a country that does require a visa each family member (including children) will require one. You must make these arrangements before you travel. Information on how to get your Vietnam visa and passport requirements, visit Direct-PassportVisas.com It is a bit chaotic on arrival-at least it was for us - we had the visas but had to wait in line. Suddenly the officers went to lunch and left us there saying we needed to wait one hour before they came back! The worst thing was we were meeting my dad and sister and her kids there and they all got through! Anyway, it wasn't the best start to the trip but we still love Vietnam!
