Format of Consent Letter for Minor Children Travelling Abroad

The explicit written consent of the parents/guardian of a minor child may be asked for by the Visa authority or the travelling airlines when a minor child travels internationally with some other person.

In such a case, the parents/guardian of the minor child should clearly write down in a consent letter all the basic details of the child and themselves, and the details of the person under whose care the child will travel.

Hereunder is a sample of such a consent letter from the parents/guardian of a child for international travel with another person.
