Answer:

According to Vietnam Immigration law, a Vietnam visa is required document for New Zealand citizens of all ages to travel to Vietnam. Therefore, like adult, to be able to enter Vietnam, New Zealand should apply for Vietnam visa before departure.

However, Vietnam visa requirement for Canadian children is categorized into two cases: children share passport with their parents, and children have personal passport.

If children share passport with their father/ mother, a scanned copy of the first page of the passport should be sent to: support@evietnamvisa.com after you completing visa application form. In addition, besides information of children, information of their representation also are required to submit into the same visa application.

If New Zealand children have their own passport, procedures and requirements to apply for a visa to Vietnam is same to Vietnam visa requirement for New Zealand adult with below steps:

-  Submit Vietnam visa application online

Currently, New Zealand children can apply for 1 month single/ multiple entries visa, and 3 month single/ multiple entries visa. For 1 month visa, you can submit only information of the children into visa application. However, for 3 month (either single or multiple entries) visa for your children, submitting visa request for adult into same visa application together the children is required. According to the way to issue pre-approval visa of the Immigration Department, 3 month visa request will be categorized as business visa, and business visa will not be issued by the Immigration for alone children.
