Schengen travel with minor Indian child born in Netherlands
We plan a travel to Germany and Austria with our 5 month old baby who is holding a indian passport issued by Indian embassy in Netherlands but does not have Dutch resident permit id. Is it ok to travel with the birth certificate issued by the Netherlands government and the passport of my child or a valid visa would be required for my child. We as parents do have a valid passport and Dutch resident permit id.
Thanks in advance
Thanks for you inputs. I am aware of the Dutch law that if a child is born in Netherlands and parents are Indian by origin then the child will be an Indian by registration. My question was that will the minor child be able to travel based on resident permit of the parents.
Best Answer
The child will require his or her own residence permit. See Child born in the Netherlands on the website of the Dutch IND for information about how to apply.
However, if you travel to Germany or Austria without a residence permit, you are unlikely to receive much worse than a warning if this comes to the attention of government authorities. In the worst case, you will probably be liable to pay a fine.
If you will be flying, you should check with the airlines to see whether they will require proof of immigration status for your child.
