Какие дополнительные документы требуются для несовершеннолетних (детей до 18 лет)?

When a minor (child under 18) applies for a Schengen visa, embassies require extra documents to ensure both parents or guardians consent to the trip and that the child’s welfare is fully protected. Here’s exactly what to prepare 👇 🧒 1. Birth Certificate (mandatory) A copy of the child’s birth certificate showing both parents’ names. If it’s not in English, provide a certified translation. 👨‍👩‍👧 2. Parents’ Passports or IDs Copies of both parents’ passports or national IDs, including signature pages. ✍️ 3. Parental Consent Letter If the child is traveling with one parent or without either, the non-traveling parent(s) must sign a notarized consent letter stating: • They permit the child to travel • The travel destination, duration, and purpose • The name of the accompanying adult(s), if applicable 💡 If both parents are traveling, this letter is not required — just include both passport copies. 🏫 4. School Letter or Student Certificate Proof that the child is enrolled in school, with approved leave dates. 💰 5. Financial Support Documents Since minors usually don’t have income, provide parents’ or sponsor’s bank statements (3–6 months) and a sponsorship letter confirming they will cover all expenses. 🏠 6. Proof of Accommodation & Travel Itinerary Hotel bookings or an invitation letter if staying with family/friends, plus round-trip flight reservations. 💬 Outbound Singapore Tip: We specialize in helping families prepare complete visa applications for minors — from drafting consent letters to organizing supporting documents that satisfy embassy requirements the first time.
