bobeychao Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I am intending to apply for this visa and hope anyone can advise me this. If my Son who is 11 years old - can he stay with me without leaving (he enters using tourist visa) once his tourist visa expires. According to Thai Elite children below 14 years can stay with the Thai Elite members without going out of the country. That means my kid will be overstaying. Will there be any problem if he leaves Thailand with me. At the same time will there be problems when both of us return to Thailand again with me using the Elite visa. While he will be on visa on arrival and enter and stay with me (even after VOA expires). Rgds richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Children under 15 do not pay overstay fines but do get a overstay stamp. Not being fined for overstay does not mean they do not need visas. Being on an overstay at his age would not be problem for him to re-enter the country and get a 30 day visa exempt entry (not a 15 day visa on arrival). If your son is attending school he can get extensions of stay for attending school. He would need to get a non-ed visa to apply for the extension.

Btw we are Chinese citizens and do need to get VOA. Can you advise if there will be problems if my Son comes in with overstay stamp (with me having the Elite visa) . I am worried that he will be stopped at the immigration. Rgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rgds Historically, immigration has been very lenient with children regarding overstays. Most likely this will continue. It is very unlikely that your son will have any problem at immigration until he reaches the age of 15. As @ubonjoe suggested, if your son is in school, arranging a Non Ed visa and extension based on being in school would keep everything 100% legal. The trouble is that Chinese nationals can only apply for visas in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukrules Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 It's easy to get an Easy Access visa, I have one. First email them, they send you some forms, you send them back via email and once accepted you mail printed copies of the forms to them, then you pay the fee. After that you get the visa either at the airport on arrival by appointment or go to the Chaeng Wattana immigration office and get it. Simple.

What are the requirements You can get a OA long stay visa at a embassy or consulate in your home country or country of legal residence. Requirements are here. http://www.mfa.go.th/main/en/services/4908/15385-Non-Immigrant-Visa-"O-A"-(Long-Stay).html You can also a apply for a one year extension of stay based upon retirement at an immigration office.
