I believe there are some countries where they might be concerned about a minor alone being a runaway (far more likely at a land border crossing, I suspect). My son traveled to India alone at 15 and went through a couple of other countries in the process. He had no problems. I did provide a notarized letter signed by me and his father saying he had permission to make the trip, but he didn't need it. I still felt better erring on the safe side.
