Elle doit être présentée par le mineur aux frontières, accompagnée de ses documents d’identité (passeport ou carte d’identité) ainsi que d’une photocopie de la carte d’identité de l’un de ses parents.
Belges – moins de 18 ans
Lorsqu’un mineur voyage à l’étranger seul ou accompagné d’une personne autre que ses parents, il est nécessaire d’obtenir une autorisation parentale confirmant l’accord des parents pour le voyage concerné.
Ce document peut être obtenu auprès de votre commune.
Français – moins de 18 ans
L’autorisation de sortie du territoire pour un mineur non accompagné par une personne détentrice de l’autorité parentale a été rétablie depuis le 15 janvier 2017. Les formulaires d’AST sont disponibles sur le site du Service Public.
Le mineur non accompagné doit donc présenter les trois documents suivants :
- son document d’identité : carte d’identité ou passeport ;
- l’AST signée par l’un des parents détenteur de l’autorité parentale ;
- une photocopie du document d’identité du parent signataire.
Conditions d’entrée pour un séjour inférieur à 6 mois
Pour les séjours de courte durée au Royaume-Uni, les voyageurs qui n’ont pas besoin de visa doivent généralement obtenir une ETA – Electronic Travel Authorisation avant leur départ.
L’ETA est une autorisation électronique de voyage liée au passeport du voyageur. Elle concerne notamment les séjours jusqu’à 6 mois pour du tourisme, une visite familiale, certaines activités professionnelles autorisées ou des études de courte durée. Elle peut également être demandée pour certains transits par le Royaume-Uni.
Informations importantes
- L’ETA est obligatoire pour les voyageurs concernés qui se rendent au Royaume-Uni sans visa.
- Elle est liée électroniquement au passeport utilisé pour la demande.
- Elle reste valable pendant une durée déterminée par les autorités britanniques, tant que le passeport associé est encore valide.
- Elle peut permettre d’effectuer plusieurs visites au Royaume-Uni pendant sa période de validité.
- Elle ne garantit pas l’entrée sur le territoire britannique.
- La demande se fait en ligne ou via l’application officielle UK ETA.
- Le passeport est requis pour effectuer la demande et pour voyager.
- Les frais de demande sont fixés par les autorités britanniques et peuvent évoluer à tout moment. Ils restent à la charge du participant et/ou de ses représentants légaux.
Frais et vérification des informations
Les conditions, délais et frais liés à l’ETA sont fixés par les autorités britanniques et peuvent évoluer indépendamment de notre volonté.
Il appartient au participant et/ou à ses représentants légaux de vérifier les informations officielles, les conditions d’éligibilité et les montants applicables avant l’inscription et avant le départ.

Pour les étudiants effectuant un séjour linguistique en école de langue :
Les étudiants qui effectuent un séjour linguistique de plus de 6 mois peuvent devoir introduire une demande de visa spécifique, selon la durée et le type de cours.
Pour les séjours d’anglais de plus de 6 mois et jusqu’à 11 mois, les autorités britanniques prévoient notamment le Short-term Study Visa pour les cours d’anglais. Les conditions exactes doivent être vérifiées sur le site officiel GOV.UK avant toute inscription.
Pour les étudiants mineurs, une autorisation parentale et des documents relatifs aux conditions d’accueil au Royaume-Uni peuvent être demandés.
Frais de visa
Les frais liés à la demande de visa, aux services associés, aux éventuelles démarches biométriques et aux contributions obligatoires imposées par les autorités britanniques ne sont pas inclus dans le prix du séjour, sauf mention contraire explicite.
Ces frais sont fixés par les autorités britanniques et peuvent évoluer à tout moment. Ils restent à la charge du participant et/ou de ses représentants légaux.
