Viajar con bebés y niños

Los niños que viajan solos al exterior deben tener el mismo pasaporte y documentación de visa que los adultos. Si su hijo/a viaja sin compañía, un tutor debe completar todos los formularios de aduanas internacionales al registrarse.

Es posible que los niños (menores de 18) que viajen al exterior sin uno o ambos padres deban presentar una carta de consentimiento firmada por cualquiera/todos los padres que no viajen.
