Hello
Yes very useful informantion
very useful info
If your child's name is added in mothers passport, you need to do the process for mother and child as dependent. If child and mother have separate passport the you have to do the entire process for both but with an exception of blood test, x-ray and finger print for children.
what about the child visa ?
Thanks for the update.
