Important Information for minors

For a visa of a minor, as a rule, both parents have to come to the minor’s appointment. Only if one parent is unable to come, we require a written and signed power of attorney from the parent unable to come in person.

If one or both parents are unavailable for clearly justified reasons to accompany the minor to the appointment, in exceptional cases the parents can issue a written power of attorney to a third adult person, allowing them to accompany their child and to apply for a visa in their stead. This person has to be able to identify himself or herself by showing their international passport, voter’s card, driver’s license or NIN slip (original and one copy).

The power of attorney may be written by yourself, but has to be signed by both parents.

In addition, please add a copy of the parents’ passports.

In addition, please complete the application with the following documents:


as well as a copy of the passport of the parents or the custodial parent

if applicable

if applicable

with transcripts of the last two semesters

travel permit signed by both parents or the custodial parent and the applicant, as well as a copy of the passport of the parents or the custodial parent
