What procedures does grandma need to go through to take her grandson abroad?

You should apply for a passport first.

Passport application: Take my photo, ID card and residence booklet to the Exit-Entry Permit Office of the Public Security Bureau where the household registration is located to apply for a passport. 10 ~ 15 days is preferable.

Specific steps:

(1) Submit the passport application form, complete and affix the applicant's recent bareheaded color photos (48X33mm white background), and submit two photos of the same specification.

(2) Submit the household registration book (or the original household registration certificate) and a copy of the ID card, and submit the original.

Procedures and time limit for handling

Remarks: The applicant must do it in person. /kloc-applicants under the age of 0/6 or over the age of 70 may entrust an agent (the agent must submit his ID card). Children's passports require parents to bring their household registration books and birth certificates. Ordinary passport 200 yuan/this.

Secondly, you have to apply for a visa. Visa application: apply for a visa at the embassy of the country where you plan to travel. Different countries have different visa regulations for minors:

Europe/KLOC-Minors under 0/8 years of age, notarized proof of the relationship between parents and children, notarized proof of the relationship between three parties when walking with both parents, notarized proof of the relationship between children as the main applicant, and notarized proof of the relationship between parents when walking with one parent. The party who does not go should issue a notarized consent, walk with others, and provide notarized proof of tripartite kinship. Both parents should issue a notarized certificate of entrustment to entrust others to take their children out of the country.

Apply for a visa to take the children abroad. It should also be noted that in Europe, minors under the age of 18 are generally not allowed to travel with non-immediate family members. If you are traveling with immediate family members other than parents (such as grandparents), you need to provide a certificate of kinship between your child and your peers for notarization. After notarization, you need to go to the foreign office for notarization (about 5 working days).

United States: American family tourist visas are more humane. From 1 May, 2007, when applying for a tourist visa, applicants under 14 do not have to go to the embassy to submit their applications in person. If at least one parent holds a valid non-immigrant visa in the United States, children of this age can apply for a visa through the face-to-face visa service. If/kloc-one or both parents of a child under 0/4 also need to apply for a visa, then one or both parents can bring the child's visa application materials when they come to the interview.
