New passport for UK child - what to do with visa exemption stamp

Featured Replies

I'm in the process of renewing my five year old daughter's British passport in Bangkok.

 

She was born in Thailand, but neither my wife nor I are Thai. Currently she has a 30 day visa exemption stamp from 8th January 2018 which was the last time we entered Thailand as a family. Although technically she is on overstay, I understand that children under 15 are exempt from being fined as long as their parents' visas are in order (I am on a non-immigrant B visa and my wife has permanent residence).

 

My question is, how do I go about transferring a new stamp into her new passport? Is this even necessary?

Thanks for any advice

The stamp can be transferred when she leaves the country. Both passports will need to be shown to departure immigration and they will move the stamp.

Children under the age of 15 do not pay the overstay fine but that does not exempt them from needing a valid visa entry or extension of stay.

Your daughter can get an extension of stay for being the child of your wife since she has residency.
