Is a residence permit required for an accompanied (newborn) minor to leave the EU?
My son was born in Sweden 5 months back. I am taking him to India this month on vacation. He has his Indian passport but no residence permit yet (applied and waiting for decision).
Will I face any problems when exiting the EU with him?
I intend to bring him back to Sweden only after receiving his permit.
UPDATE: Apparently, a resident permit is required even when leaving the EU if the border control happens in an EU country that is not your country of residence. In our case, the border control was in Berlin where we changed flight to Delhi. The officer said that there is a fine for illegal immigration even if for a single day, but he is going to waive it as we had documents supporting the application for residence permit for my son.
Best Answer
Permits and visas are typically required when entering a country, not when leaving. The main reason they might want it in this case is to check overstay and/or trafficking of a minor. In your case your son is a minor, you are traveling with him. Minors traveling with their parents cannot be charged with overstay.

Make sure you have permission from his mother (if you're the father).
