Minor Romanian citizens, as in the case of adults, will no longer carry out border control and will also go directly to the boarding gate. They will NOT need any additional approval, being able to travel in the Schengen area with the same documents as before.
In addition to a valid travel document, in order to leave the country, the minor Romanian citizen and the companion will need the following documents, depending on the situation:
✔️ If the minor travels accompanied only by a parent or a third person, the following are required:
🔹The consent of the other parent if traveling accompanied by only one of the parents
🔹The consent of both parents when traveling accompanied by a person other than the parentD
🔹Only the travel document if moving to home/residence and provides proof of this
🔹Only the consent of one of the parents when traveling for studies/competitions/medical treatment and proves the stated purpose of the trip.
✔️ If the minor is over 16 years old and traveling unaccompanied, he will need:
🔹Consent from both parents
🔹Only travel document if it provides proof of domicile/residence in the country where you are traveling.
In order to check whether minor Romanian citizens and their companions are in possession of the mentioned documents, the border police can carry out spot checks in the airport premises. If it is found that they are not in their possession, they will not be allowed to leave the country.
For trips to non-Schengen states, both for Romanian adults and minors, the travel conditions remain unchanged, and the documents will be checked at the Border Police control filters.
