What are the formalities for a child travelling alone?
Here's what your child needs when travelling alone:
- A valid ID (identity card or passport)
- The assistance form that you complete at the airport
- An official travel authorisation from your local council
What permission does your child need?
There are no standard Belgian or international forms for parental travel consent, but TUI strongly recommends arranging an official travel authorisation from your local council:
- If your child travels with one parent: the accompanying parent needs written consent from the other parent, confirmed by the local council
- If your child travels alone: permission from both parents is required
Important
- Contact the embassy or consulate of the destination country for any additional requirements
- For Portugal, a travel authorisation for minors is mandatory!
