An Affidavit of Consent to Travel is an essential legal document in the Philippine jurisdiction, required whenever a minor plans to travel internationally without both parents present. This document becomes necessary in various situations, such as when a minor is traveling alone, with only one parent, or with other adults. The affidavit must include comprehensive details about the minor, the consenting parent(s)/guardian(s), travel arrangements, and accompanying persons (if any). It serves as a crucial tool in preventing child trafficking and ensuring the safety of minors traveling abroad, as mandated by Philippine law, particularly the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act (RA 9208) and DSWD regulations. The document must be properly notarized and is typically scrutinized by immigration officers, airline personnel, and foreign embassy officials during visa applications.
