Can minor child travel out of France before applying DCEM
I am an Indian, I am in France for a work and arrived last year. I had got the RP last year which is expired now and I have submitted my files for renewal of carte de Sejour. So I have a recepisse which allow me to travel outside France.
Now my family (wife and 2 year old kid) have arrived here in France, they both have type D long stay VISA valid for one year. I have validated my wife’s VISA online (required instead of applying carte de sejour).
For my daughter, I understood from sources that I need to apply for DCEM once I got my carte de sejour. Yes, I have not yet applied for DCEM for my kid yet.
Now the issue is I need to travel to India for an important family function and come back to France. I know for me and for my wife it’s ok to travel outside France and come back.
My question is whether there will be any issue for my daughter to enter into France as she don’t have DCEM (not even applied) but valid VISA.

The DCEM certifies the regularity of the minor's stay in France and allows him/her to return to France or to the external borders of the Schengen area after a trip abroad without the need to obtain a visa. .INC Radio Central Europe | June 13, 2022 (2:00AM - 3:00AM PHT)
