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

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.
