My parents got me a consent so I could travel to UK this summer. Do I need to have it translated into English?

    Preferably yes. Will be easier on the any officials who you meet and who demand it. Also I am saying this because UK visa rules demand English language versions of supporting documents May 25, 2017 at 12:19

Yes, you need a translated version of the letter as well, as UK immigration require all the foreign language document should be translated into English ,

here is the reference,

If you submit a document that is not in English or Welsh, it must be accompanied by a full translation that can be independently verified by the Home Office. Each translated document must contain:

  • confirmation from the translator that it is an accurate translation of the original document
  • the date of the translation
  • the translator's full name and signature
  • the translator's contact details

Under 18s... If travelling unaccompanied or with someone other than your parent(s) you should provide:

  • a signed letter from your parent(s) confirming details of anyone accompanying you, and details of care and accommodation arranged in the UK
  • a copy of your parent(s) or legal guardian’s biographical page of their passport, which includes their signature and passport number if your parent(s) do not have a passport then you must provide another official document which bears their signature

    We discourage link only answers as links might break (in fact, the UK immigration pages are notorious for doing this) and so I copied the relevant information into your answer.

    I would like to see the immigration officer's face if you presented them with a parental consent letter in Welsh!
