Does my wife need written travel permission from me before my son can leave russia? My wife said she just hear of this. If I need to give her permission, is it possible to do this in the USA, because that is were I am living currently? Thanks.

As far as I know, this is required for any child traveling alone. In Chile, a child under 18 can´t leave the country without a written permission of their parents. The info should not be hard to acquire though. Good luck!

I have experience of this. The "missing" parent must go to a Notary and say that the mother (or father) can travel without needing their permission. If written in English, it must be officially translated into Russian and Notorised by A Russian Notary. I did mine at the Russian Embassy in London. Hope that helps.

Its best to have one just in case. I always took a letter with me when I took my foster children on holiday. I was never asked any questions and no one ever asked to see it. Its better to be safe than sorry.

Hi, according to the Art. 20 of the Law of the Russian Federation stipulating the order of entering and leaving the territory of the Russian Federation this rule is applicable to the Russian citizen before 18 if they travel unattended by their parents. Regards, Visalink
