Document background
A Guardianship Letter For Travel is essential documentation required by Indonesian authorities when a minor is traveling without their parents or legal guardians. This document becomes necessary in various situations, such as school trips, family visits, or educational programs, where a temporary guardian needs legal authority to supervise the child. The letter must comply with Indonesian Law No. 6 of 2011 on Immigration and Law No. 23 of 2002 on Child Protection (as amended). It typically includes detailed information about all parties involved, travel specifics, duration of guardianship, and emergency provisions. For international travel, additional authentication may be required through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the destination country's embassy. The document serves as a crucial tool for protecting children's welfare while facilitating necessary travel arrangements.
