Tips for Families with Children
- Children need their own passports — no more adding kids to parent's passport
- Carry birth certificates for all children (original or certified copy) for immigration
- If only one parent is traveling, carry a notarized consent letter from the other parent
- Some countries have reduced or waived visa fees for children under 6 or 12
- Book family rooms at hotels rather than separate rooms — easier and cheaper
- Many airline loyalty programs allow free infant travel — check before booking
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Forgetting that children need separate visa applications — even infants
- Not carrying consent letters when one parent isn't traveling — immigration may deny entry
- Passport photos of children not meeting specifications (this is stricter than for adults)
- Not checking if children's passports meet the 6-month validity requirement
