Your child is flying to see grandparents overseas, travelling with one parent, or going on a school trip. The airline or immigration officer asks for a parental consent letter. Without it, the child can be stopped at the gate. Here is how it works in Thailand, and how to get one at the amphur.<\/p>\n\n
Whether you need the other parent to sign depends on parental power, explained in our overview of family law in Thailand<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n A travel permit is a signed letter in which a parent consents to a minor travelling abroad. Airlines, immigration, and foreign embassies ask for it to prevent child abduction. You usually need one when the child travels with only one parent, with a grandparent or guardian, or alone. Where to get it.<\/strong> You can sign the consent and have your signature certified at the amphur (district office)<\/strong>. For use abroad it often also needs a translation, legalization at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and sometimes the destination country embassy. Need a certified, translated and legalised consent letter for a specific country? Contact us<\/a>. General information, not legal advice.<\/p><\/div> Rules vary by airline and destination. As a guide, you usually need one when:<\/p> Name the child, both parents, and the person the child travels with. State the destination, the dates, and a clear sentence of consent. Both parents sign where possible. The amphur certifies the signature.<\/p> Yes. The district office certifies your signature on the consent letter. For abroad you often also need translation and Ministry of Foreign Affairs legalization.<\/p> Where both have parental power, both should sign. If one has sole custody, bring the custody order.<\/p> No. It is a consent letter for a child.
