This guide explains how eVisa applications work for families and groups, covering how to apply for children, whether group discounts exist, common errors to avoid, and how to ensure everyone is cleared to travel together.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Do children need their own eVisa?+
Yes. Each traveller — including infants and children — must have their own eVisa or travel authorisation linked to their own passport. A child's eVisa is typically the same price as an adult's.
Can I apply for multiple family members at once?+
Services like VisaGov allow you to apply for multiple family members in the same session. Each application is submitted separately but you can complete them in one sitting and pay for all together.
Do all family members need to travel together?+
No. Family members with approved eVisas can travel separately, as long as each person's visa is valid for their travel dates. Each visa is linked to an individual passport.
What if one family member's eVisa is approved and another's is not?+
Each eVisa is assessed individually. If one family member is denied, others can still travel. In practice, simultaneous denials for the same nationality/destination are rare. Contact the processing service immediately if one application is delayed or denied.
