Do babies need visas to go abroad?

I believe many families will choose to travel abroad during the Spring Festival, so does the baby need to apply for a passport when going abroad? This is also one of the common questions. Let me answer them for you.

Question 1: Do I need to apply for my child's passport?

A: Minors must be accompanied by guardians when they apply for passports.

You must apply for a passport before applying for a visa. If your child has not yet obtained a passport and intends to travel abroad, you must obtain a personal passport belonging to your child. Moreover, minors' passports must be handled in person.

When applying for a passport, parents need to bring their children's personal photos, household registration books, parents' ID cards and relevant copies to the entry-exit administration for passport application. Due to the different requirements of entry-exit administration departments in different places, they must apply for passports in person. Please refer to the requirements of entry-exit administration departments in different places for details.

Generally speaking, you can get your child's passport in about 10~ 15 working days. The validity period of children's passports is different from that of adults, usually five years.

I also want to make it clear here that you must apply for your child's China passport in person, but parents can help you apply for your child's Taiwan Pass.

Question 2: What if children and parents have different household registration?

A: Other materials that can prove the relationship between children and parents must be presented.

If the father (mother) and the child belong to the same household registration, only the father (mother)' s household registration book and ID card are needed when handling the child's passport.

If parents and children do not belong to the same household registration, more materials need to be provided, such as the child's birth certificate (or one-child certificate), the parents' or guardians' household registration book and identity card, the parents' marriage certificate or notarized or legal documents proving legal custody.

Tip: apply for a Schengen visa

Schengen visa refers to the countries that have signed the Schengen Treaty. Visitors can legally travel to all other Schengen countries as long as they hold a tourist visa from one of them.

However, the requirements of Schengen 26 countries for visa applicants for minors under 18 are uniform, and they must provide notarization and authentication of kinship (notarization of birth medical certificate or notarization of tripartite kinship).

If the assets of minors can be proved by parents, parents can provide 6 months of bank flow, and the original bank card statement must be stamped with the official seal of the bank, with a balance of at least 30,000 yuan.

(Note: The longer the travel time, the higher the recommended asset amount, indicating that there is sufficient financial resources to pay the travel expenses. )

/kloc-Minors under the age of 0/8 need to sign their parents' names in black ink in the signature column when filling out the Schengen visa form, and also need to provide air ticket reservation, travel plan, overseas insurance, etc. According to the general requirements of Schengen visa.

Getting a visa for a child is actually very simple.

/kloc-when minors under the age of 0/8 apply for visas, most of them are handled by their parents, and the materials issued are mostly the same as when their parents apply for visas.

For family travel, adults need to provide their own bills, and parents can guarantee their children to travel abroad easily ~

If the child is at school, it is necessary to provide additional proof that the child is studying, and then prove the kinship between the child and the guarantor (for example, the child's birth certificate and the household registration book together). The materials for children to apply for passports and visas are actually very simple, mainly because the materials of the guarantor need to be complete!
