Document background
The Visa Consent Letter For Minors is a crucial document required when minors travel internationally from India, either alone or accompanied by someone other than their legal guardians. This document became increasingly important due to growing concerns about child trafficking and international child abduction. Under Indian law, particularly the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890, and immigration regulations, such written consent is mandatory for minors' international travel. The letter must include comprehensive details about the minor, travel plans, and guardian information, and requires proper notarization to be legally valid. It serves multiple purposes: satisfying immigration requirements, providing evidence of parental consent for visa applications, and protecting the minor's welfare during international travel. The document is particularly scrutinized by both Indian authorities and foreign embassies during visa processing.
