Why is Vietnam popular with tourists today?
Vietnam is an incredible country, on the very edge of Southeast Asia, where you can get real aesthetic pleasure from the abundance of magical landscapes and charge with positive energy for a long time.
Since East Asian culture is slowly but surely filled with Western influence with the expansion of business ties and thanks to new trends in politics, coming here you can still find the very turning point in the conversion from one culture to a kind of unique symbiosis.
In Vietnam, this is felt most strongly, since the economy is actively developing here, but the residents themselves still retain the originality and old-fashioned lifestyle that prevails in most of the country.

Do I need to apply for a visa for a child separately?
Foreign minors can travel to Vietnam accompanied by:
- both parents
- one of the parents
- third party
If a child visits the republic with one of the parents, a power of attorney from the second is needed.
If the child does not have a second parent, at the customs control it is necessary to present a paper confirming this – a death certificate, a certificate of deprivation of parental rights.
For escort with a third party, you can not do without a power of attorney from the father and mother, which must indicate the full details of the accompanying person.
A minor child often fits into the passport of one of the parents. In this case, a permit is made for two, but payment is made as if for two people.
