Unaccompanied minors

When an unaccompanied minor presents himself at the border, without a travel document, without a visa, he is not authorized to enter French territory. He is placed in the waiting area. The border police then approach the judge to inform him and an ad hoc administrator is appointed. This person assists the unaccompanied minor for the duration of his stay in the waiting zone.

For the rest of the procedure, the steps are similar to those for adults (see the section "Applying for asylum at the border").
