| On our next visit we are taking our friends son with us.
Do you think it would be advisable to get a letter of authority from his parents giving us permission to take him out of the country?
Also, when we are on the plane, will I have to fill out a separate customs form for him or will he be able to go one form with the rest of us.
I know that he (well probably me  ) will have to fill out the green visa waiver form.
Any comments much appreciated. Thanks. |

| Hi
We took our niece with us last year.
You will have to fill in a visa waiver for him as it is a different surname.
As my nieces parents are separated I took a letter from each saying that we had permission to seek medical assistance should the need arise.
We weren't even questioned about different surnames.

You can hardly wait until you get to Florida to get an absent (in the UK) parent's signature on a letter though can you?
