My child's passport photo was taken as a baby. Will a recent photo be rejected?

A recent photo should be fine. Children change quickly, and immigration expects the portrait to show how the child looks now. The passport photo is a separate upload.

The passport scan must show the passport data page as it is, and the portrait must show a clear face of the child today. Use a plain light background, face centered and eyes open. For a toddler, lay the child on a white sheet and take the photo from above.

At the border the officer compares the child with the passport photo, and a large difference between the two is normal for a young child. If the passport has expired or the photo no longer looks like your child, renewing the passport is the cleaner fix.

Check the current rules on evisa.gov.vn before you upload. Each child with their own passport needs their own application, and you can apply for the whole family on one form.
