Document background
The Consent Letter From Parent For Visa is a crucial document required by Dutch immigration authorities when processing visa applications for minors traveling to the Netherlands. This document is mandated under Dutch immigration law and the Schengen Borders Code to prevent child trafficking and ensure proper parental authorization for international travel. The letter must include detailed information about the parent(s)/guardian(s), the minor, travel purposes, duration of stay, and accommodation arrangements in the Netherlands. It requires proper authentication through notarization and may need apostille certification if issued outside the Netherlands. This document is particularly important for situations involving study abroad programs, family visits, or extended stays where a minor will be traveling without both parents present.
