Document background
The Affidavit Of Support And Consent Parental Travel Permit is a crucial document required under Austrian law when minors travel internationally without both parents present. This document serves dual purposes: it provides official authorization for the child's travel and establishes financial responsibility for the duration of the journey. The affidavit is particularly important in preventing child abduction and ensuring proper arrangements for the child's welfare during travel. It must be executed in accordance with Austrian civil law requirements, typically requiring notarization and possible apostille certification for international recognition. The document is commonly required by airlines, immigration authorities, and foreign consulates, and may be necessary for school trips, family visits, or other international travel purposes. It includes comprehensive details about the child, parents/guardians, travel plans, and emergency provisions, making it a vital tool for protecting children's interests during international travel.
