Document background
A Consent Letter From Parent For Visa is a critical document required when minors need to travel internationally and apply for visas, particularly within the Schengen area. This document is essential under Belgian law and Schengen visa requirements to prevent child trafficking and ensure proper parental authorization for minor travel. It must be drafted in accordance with Belgian Civil Code provisions regarding parental authority and meet specific authentication requirements. The letter typically includes comprehensive details about the minor, travel arrangements, parental contact information, and explicit travel consent. It may require notarization, apostille certification, or other forms of authentication depending on the destination country's requirements. This document is particularly important for single parents, separated families, or situations where one parent cannot be present for visa applications.
