In spite of various political problems, Russia and Ukraine retained fairly strong ties. They are expressed, among other things, in the fact that many Russian citizens have various Ukrainian relatives. What is the right way to act if you want to visit them with your children?
Necessary
- - birth certificate;
- - child's passport (for children over 14 years old);
- - the child's passport;
- - permission from parents;
- - money to buy a ticket.
Instructions
Step 1
If the child is traveling with one parent or in general with strangers, obtain permission from the parents to leave. To do this, the parent must personally come to the notary with a passport and draw up the appropriate paper. The notary must certify it with his signature and seal. After that, you need to pay a fee for registration of the document.
Step 2
Get a passport for the child. To do this, contact the Federal Migration Service at your place of residence. Also, if a child travels with one of the parents, then the son or daughter can be entered in his passport.
Step 3
Get a visa to Ukraine for a child. To do this, contact the Ukrainian embassy or one of the general consulates. You will need to provide documents confirming the purpose of the child's stay abroad. Also, when preparing documents, pay a special visa fee.
Step 4
Select the type of transport with which you want to take your children to Ukraine. Airplane is the fastest way, but for young children it can become quite stressful due to unpleasant sensations in flight due to changes in atmospheric pressure. In addition, you can fly only in one of the major years of the country, and if you need to get to a smaller settlement, you will have to change the mode of transport. Buy plane tickets directly from the airline - on its website or at the ticket office. It will be cheaper than the same action through intermediary firms.
Step 5
If you have enough time, choose a train. This type of transport is most convenient for residents of the European part of Russia, as otherwise traveling with children can take a very long time. You can buy a train ticket at any ticket office at the railway station, but not earlier than 40 days before the intended trip.
Step 6
For those who want to save money, a bus trip is suitable. But it must be taken into account that it is much less comfortable than traveling by other means of transport.
