If your child is traveling alone, with only one parent, or with a non-legal guardian, they will require a Child Travel Consent signed by both parents or legal guardians. A Child Travel Consent is sometimes called a letter of permission to travel.
The travel letter may facilitate departure from the host country and provides immigration officials at the port of entry (POE) with information necessary to admit the traveler.
In the business world, a travel letter is an official document confirming a foreign worker's international travel plans to border authorities. It is not to be confused with a travel consent letter, which a parent writes to provide evidence of parental consent for a child traveling alone or without both parents.
