Legalization Of 6-y.o. Kid

[OttoBlender]

We all are on 1 year non-B.

I make border trips regulary w/o my son as I think 8 hours in a minibus is too much for 6 y.o. one.

So far he has 6 months of overstay.

Now I need to get for him a educational visa as he goes to a int. school. And then a non-O visa for me because he's dependant of me.

So he need to be legalized.

1. If we make a border trip together will be he get a 90-days stamp as usual?

2. Do he need to show a ticket back? If yes then whats a cheaper option on tickets in Pattaya?

Our neighbours recently came back and immigration in Suvarnabhumi requested them to show tickets back for their 2 children. So they bought some one-way tickets from Phuket. They have a work permit and a proper visa while the childrent didn't have any visas. Don't have more details on this. For me its sounds strange why they didn't allowed the kids. Maybe the parents didn't pay for children visa.

Go to immigration division and sort this mess out!

He has a multi entry non immigrant B visa? And it is currently valid but he has not been making required 90 day exits? He will receive an overstay stamp on exit but should not have a problem entering and receiving a 90 day entry if visa is still valid.

The reason for the air tickets is that they are checking those who use visa exempt entry (30 day stamps) for the required exit tickets within that period. There is no such check for those on non immigrant visa entry.

Thanks lopburi3 for the answer!

Yes, he has 1-y. non-B.

Hope they will not require us to pay 20k for the overstay.

They didn't it for our neighbors' 7y. daughter.

I know about airports.

But it will be Ban Laem. The place dedicated only for visa runs.

Is it an unwritten rule or is it actually written somewhere that there is no overstay for child?

On the age, I have read 7 years, 14 years ... and now 17 years old.

So which one is it ?

17. At the airport it is written on the large sign over the desk where overstays are recorded. An overstay stamp might be placed in the childs passport but there is no fine for children 'accompanying their parents'.
