Hi All,

Going to travel from India to Thailand with my Thai national minor son. His mother is also Thai national and staying there in Thailand. My request is that do I need any document/consent from my minor son's mother to travel ? If so then what is name of that document/consent ? if anyone has available photo for that document, I request to share. or is it sufficient that if my son's mother send her consent on simple paper with her signature  on it ?

TIA

Answer summary

When traveling to Thailand from India with your minor son, you may need a notarized letter of consent from his mother, who is a Thai national, especially if you have shared custody or if there are any legal matters regarding custody. While a simple signed paper might suffice in some instances, having a more formal document can prevent potential issues during travel. It's advisable to consult a lawyer to ensure you have all necessary documentation to avoid complications.

Do you have legal custody in Thailand and India? If so then you would want those documents in case any issues arise - also a consent letter from the mother - since you have asked this question many times, you might want to consult a lawyer if the mother did not consent custody and the child was removed from Thailand without a court order, your sons mother would need to go to a notary and give consent with her information and sons information

Thanks Werner for your reply, there isn't any legal issue in there. I have consent from my son's mother for him to stay with me. Just asking as if consent need to travel then she has to go first to district office and later from south Thailand to Bangkok to get it translated n certify at MFA and that's the difficult part to go to Bangkok or Phuket.
