Article 20 of Federal Law No.114-FZ “On the Procedure for Exit from the Russian Federation and Entry into the Russian Federation” dated August 15, 1996 (as amended on April 07, 2010) requires that a minor citizen of the Russian Federation shall leave the Russian Federation, as a rule, together with at least one of his/her parents, adopters, trustees or guardians. Where a minor citizen of the Russian Federation leaves the Russian Federation without escort, in addition to the passport he/she should have a notary legalized consent of the indicated persons to exit from the Russian Federation, such consent stating the term of his/her stay outside the Russian Federation and state(s) he/she intends to visit.

Children over 12 years do not need to be accompanied by an adult passenger or a passenger under 18 fully capable in accordance with the Civil Law of the Russian Federation.

In practice travel consent from the other parent for exit from the Russian Federation can be requested by Russian border guards or during border control procedure when entering the country of destination.

We recommend to obtain a notary legalized travel consent of the other parent. It can be issued for a specific trip or for a period covering several trips. Such consent is not required if there is no other parent, which must be evidenced by one of the following documents:

Procedure for Export of Goods in the Baggage of Passengers Departing from Russia

According to RF Government Decree No.172 dated 03.03.2012, a simplified customs procedure is applied to the baggage of connecting passengers departing from the Russian Federation, when such baggage contains no goods subject to customs declaration. It means that a connecting passenger does not need to present its baggage personally for customs inspection.
The Decree establishes a procedure for customs formalities in respect of goods admitted by the Carrier for transportation in accompanied baggage from the Russian Federation to a destination outside the customs area of the Customs Union with a stopover at the departure airport located in Russia. It also defines the conditions that the Air Carrier and/or the authorized Operator must fulfill in order to be subject to such Decree.

The simplified procedure is applicable subject to the following conditions:
- when checking in the connecting baggage at the departure airport the passenger is to state that his/her baggage does not contain any goods subject to customs declaration in writing;

A citizen having goods subject to mandatory customs declaration in writing who failed to declare such goods in writing may be made liable in accordance with the Code of Administrative Violations and the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
Should any goods subject to declaration in writing be discovered in connecting baggage, the respective passenger is banned from boarding and such baggage is placed to the customs office.
