The visa application will be processed free of charge. Where an airline is unwilling to board a minor without a visa, or cannot confirm that boarding will be possible, it is advised that the minor applies for a fresh entry visa, under the Join family category, and provide all the applicable documents as listed in the checklist below. Persons seeking to travel under this policy should first consult their airline to confirm that boarding will be allowed. The adult accompanying the child must also provide appropriate documentation to prove they are the legal parent or guardian of the child in question.įurther information on this policy can be found on.
