I am going to apply for a Schengen tourist visa from the French embassy. My 7 years old daughter is accompanying me and I have a good bank statement. she is in the second class in school.

Does she need to have a separate bank statement? What other documents does she need to complete the visa requirement? her visa application has been rejected twice.



Best Answer

You should submit the bank statements of the person paying for her trip. If that is you, then no, she does not need a separate bank statement. If that is herself (which seems unlikely), then submit her own bank statement. If that is someone else (other parent, grandparent) then you should submit their bank statement.

See this answer on what bank statements should show.

What is minor account in bank?

If the child age is below 18, the bank will call these a minor account. For kids below 10, the account has to be jointly operated with the parent or guardian, but if the child's age is between 10 and 18, the account can be operated by the child.

What kind of account should I open for my child?

A children's savings account typically pays low interest, making it better for short-term savings and smaller amounts. A 529 plan can help you save for college more aggressively, with a broader range of long-term investment options.

Can a child have their own account?

Minor children by law can't open a savings account. They need a parent or guardian to set up a custodial or joint account. A custodial account is the property of the child, but managed by the parent until the child turns 18.

How old do you have to be to have a checking account?

Though a child can't open an account on their own until age 18, as the child's parent, legal guardian or grandparent, you can open what's called a custodial account. Custodial accounts are accounts that are opened by a responsible person (you) on behalf of someone else (your child).
