Can a minor travel to the UAE without both parents — what documents are required (consent letter, notarization)?

TL;DR

To fly out of Russia, a minor needs a notarized consent letter from at least one parent; entry into the UAE only requires a passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry. Travel medical insurance is also strongly recommended.

What the community said

To let a minor leave Russia, a notarized consent letter from just one parent is enough — you don't need permission from both parents.

Notarized consent from one parent

To enter the UAE, a minor (like adults) only needs a passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry — the UAE itself doesn't require a separate permit for a minor traveling without parents.

Passport valid 6+ months

Before a minor travels without parents, get travel medical insurance — healthcare in the UAE is very expensive, and without coverage treatment costs can be extremely high.
