Minor traveling alone to another country?

Question

16 year old us citizen traveling alone to mexico, what are the requirements, is there papers that have to be signed? how are the immigration officers delt with? is the child asked anything or is it taken care of since they are minors?

Answer 1

well iam a minor and also travel alone most of the time i dont think theres any papers that need to be signed but im not sure but the minor still needs to go through immigration just make sure they dont have an expired passport

oh yea and they dont guide you unless you go with the unacommpanied minors group

Answer 2

It seems like a 16 year olds parents or guardians should really be handling the travel arrangements to Mexico.

Answer 3

you need your passport.  And you'll need a notorized letter from your parents allowing you to travel.  Notorized means they ened to write up a permission form (don't sign it yet).  take it to a post office (most are notoaries there) and they have to sign it in FRONT of the person.  The person then stamps it to say they did.  your parents will need to bring ID with them and this will probably cost $10 - $20 per letter (get 2 copies in case one gets lost).  if you're parents aren't together you will need a note from both even if one is your primary guardian.

For the airport part:  Someone will be with you from the time you check in and say bye to your parents til when you get on the plane.  Although at 16, you may have the option of not having to do this.  It really depends on the airline and if your parents request it or not.

Have fun

Answer 4

They take care of you really well. You have quite a bit of papers to fill out, by going to the website, and on your ticket it will say Minor. They watch you like a hawlk, walk you on and off theplane, and handle all of your papers.
