Do I need the consent of the second parent to export the child to another parent in Thailand? And if they ask, then what can I refer to, where does this information come from?

Responds Anna Kharitonov
First item: Article 6 of Federal Law No. 114 "On the procedure for leaving the Russian Federation and entry into the Russian Federation" states:

"Departure from the Russian Federation and entry into the Russian Federation by citizens of the Russian Federation shall be carried out on valid identity documents of a citizen of the Russian Federation outside the territory of the Russian Federation ....". This means that a child for traveling abroad must have his own personal passport from the moment of birth. Departure under the passport of the parents is not allowed.

If the parents of the child have a foreign passport of the old standard, then it can be recorded on children. But! ... According to the Administrative Regulations of the Federal Migration Service, effective April 16, 2010, entering information about children is carried out only to confirm kinship and does not allow children to leave the passport of their parents! From 01.03.09 the children inscribed in the passport of the parents should have a photograph regardless of the child's age (previously it was permitted to not stick a photo before reaching the age of 6).

A new sample with an electronic carrier can not record a record of children.

Attention! Departure from the law! Due to the fact that the wholesale introduction of biometric passports is delayed, temporarily, before the end of the validity period of "old" passports, children are allowed to leave their parents' passports when traveling with their parents.

The second item is a document confirming kinship. ±​​$ The

In accordance with the order of the Border Guard Service of the Federal Security Service of Russia of July 11, 2005, from July 22, 2005, under-age citizens of the Russian Federation (under the age of 18) when leaving Russia on a foreign or common-law passport of the Russian Federation to CIS countries and abroad, accompanied by parents (guardians, adoptive parents, trustees) must have a document proving their kinship with the parents (birth certificate, guardianship certificate, marriage certificate, etc.).

In the absence of a document confirming kinship, even if the same surname of parents and children is available, the minor child will be refused departure from the Russian Federation.

Conclusion: for the child's removal abroad it is necessary to have a personal passport of the child and his birth certificate (certificate of custody).

Taking a child abroad with one of the parents.

To leave Russia a minor citizen of the Russian Federation together with one of the parents consent to leave the child abroad from the second parent is not required.

This rule is valid if the second parent has not received a statement of disagreement on the departure of his children from the Russian Federation, issued in accordance with the provisions of Government Decree No. 273 of May 12, 2003 "On Approving the Rules for Submitting an Application for Disagreement on Departure from the Russian Federation Federation of a Minor Citizen of the Russian Federation ". If there is such a statement, the problem can be resolved in court.

Have a nice trip!
