Document background
The Permission To Travel Form is a crucial document required in Malaysia when minors travel without one or both parents/legal guardians. This document became increasingly important due to growing concerns about child trafficking and international child abduction. The form serves as a protective measure and legal requirement under Malaysian law, particularly aligned with the Immigration Act 1959/63 and Child Act 2001. It includes comprehensive information about the minor, travel details, accompanying adults, and parental authorization. The Permission To Travel Form is especially vital for international travel, school trips, or situations where children travel with relatives or authorized guardians. The document must typically be notarized or properly witnessed to be considered valid by Malaysian authorities and foreign immigration officials.
