Document background
A Consent Letter From Parents To Immigration is a crucial document required by Swiss immigration authorities when minor children are entering or staying in Switzerland without both parents present. This document is mandated under Swiss immigration law and must comply with both federal and cantonal requirements. The letter serves as official authorization from parents/legal guardians and helps prevent child trafficking while ensuring proper documentation for immigration purposes. It typically requires notarization or similar authentication and may need translation into the relevant Swiss national language (German, French, Italian, or Romansh). The document should include comprehensive details about the child, parents/guardians, purpose and duration of stay, accommodation arrangements, and emergency contacts. It's particularly important for cases involving school enrollment, extended stays, or when children are traveling with only one parent or a third party.
