sevinnow Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Does your daughter have her own passport? The new rule is anyone holding a passport will need to do the Visa run as per her entry visa stipulates, if she is on a parent passport then she does not, as the parent visa is valid for both.

dr_Pat_Pong Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 The child should arrive with a valid visa. At that age she need not join you on the visa run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankw Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I am not even sure if your child needs a visa. It will simply receive a 30-stamp on entry. Children are exempted from overstay fines until they are 12 years old (or so). I went twice with my son to Penang and once to the Philippines via Bangkok Airport. My son always had many month overstay and there was no problem or fine for him. Somebodey here in forum also mentioned that at the airport immigration (where you pay overstay fees) was a notice attached to the wall, saying "...no fees for kids...".
