If I want to take my minor child with me to France through a tourist visa, are there any special visa requirements for minors?

Yes, for a minor(under 18 years of age) applicant for a France Schengen visa, these specific documents are required:

• A signed consent letter from both parents or the child’s legal guardians
• A birth certificate as proof of relationship with the minor
• Passport and identity cards, copies of parents
• If the minor is traveling with one parent, then a signed letter from the second parent is required.
• Proof of a court-issued guardianship certificate if the parents are divorced.
