My question is
My nephew is traveling with me. He is 13 years old. As he is minor. Do I need to carry any NOC from his school and Parents?
Actually when I traveled Singapore this year. Thomas cook guided me to carry both. If u have any experience in thailand. Pls advise.

Answer summary
When traveling to Thailand with a minor, it is advisable to carry documents such as a No Objection Certificate (NOC) or parental consent letter, though enforcement can vary. While some travelers report not needing additional documents, others suggest that having written authorization from the parents can help avoid potential issues. It is recommended to check with the airline and the Thai Embassy for specific requirements to ensure a smooth travel experience.

my daughter flew to join me in Bangkok, through BKK, just a few months ago entirely alone. She was 15 at the time.I sent a letter with her just in case but no one ever asked her for it.

I would imagine it's a good idea at the very least to have a letter from his legal guardian stating that he can travel with you, to prevent any confusion.

My son's travelled alone with 15 years and Thai airways wanted a confirmation from me that he allowed to travel from Frankfurt to BKK, even when I bought the ticket they told me not necessary! Never was a problem when travelling alone with my kids.

Google the document needed. From the USA you must have a notarized document signed by both parents authorizing you to take the minor out of the country. Plus I would have a notarized POA for health care needs also. Cover your bases. You don’t want a nasty surprise somewhere. A local attorney could make sure you are doing it all correctly also

ok. ThanksSteve *********
I would carry something from the parents just to be sure. Many countries enforce this strictly, many enforce it intermittently. South Africa was the most famous (and problem-causing) recent example.

do u have some matter to be written in that letter ?Robert *******
And what has this to do with Thai visa advice? Sorry but if the airline company you like to use needs extra documents to bring a nephew with you, you need to contact that company.

@Robert ******
it might also be relevant to Thailand if they have laws on minors entering the country without a parent. Not sure if they do or do not just throwing in my two cents

@Robert ******
that is entry into a country issue, in that sense a wider interpretation of visa.Rajesh *******
OP@Robert ******
sometime immigration of country can ask. Airline has nothing to do with this.Singapore immigration asked me.
Now is it related to thai Visa advice mr. Robert ?
