mogandave Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Hello, I’m taking my 16 year old son the the US go a month. He has both Thai and U.S. passports. Will I have any difficulty getting him checked-in, through immigration and on the aircraft without his mother? What about leaving the U.S. or during transfers?

featography Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 CYA, as in cover your ass. Carry a note signed by mother permitting minor child to accompany you. I.d also have a copy of mothers passport page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajvat37 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Yeah I would bring a letter from mom, and copies of her ID and house book as well as your sons house book all signed by mom just to be safe. I just flew with my half Thai baby and her mother but at immigration leaving Thailand mom went in a different line and didn’t wait for me, she was already around the corner when I got to the IO and they started to question me about it before I finally saw mom come back looking for us.

AgMech Cowboy Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) @mogandaveI took my 14 yo son to the US 3 yrs ago and he flew solo when he was 15. No issue, but he does have my surname. There was never a question. We flew to LA and then Denver on United. The next year he flew Qatar Air to Houston.

AgMech Cowboy Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Show his US passport to check-in. Thai passport to exit and enter Thai immigration. US PP to enter USA. Check-in in USA coming to Thailand, use Thai passport; although, that really doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
