The parents will receive a birth certificate, but the child is not Thai.

The parents will receive a birth certificate, but the child is not Thai.

It is then up to the parents to go and register the child with the embassy of the country(s) which the parents are citizens of to register a child of that nation. The child is permitted to stay in Thailand, as children under 7years (or is it 14?) are allowed to remain here and not be charged/penalised for overstay.

What nationality are the parents?

Not that it applies to me but is there no dispensation for a child of non Thai parents attracting some Thai nationality benefits, even if just visa status, due to being born in Thailand ?

I mean, taking an extreme example, the whole family lives here and then at age 18 or age of majority, the parents die. Is the child then forced to apply for visas and leave if it does not satisfy the normal conditions, going to a country which it has never been to etc. ?

Hgma, you are quoting three previous posts. Who should show you his source for what?

For Thailand, see also Thailand’s Nationality Act B.E. 2508 as amended by Acts B.E. 2535 No. 2 and 3 (1992)

I think he is referring to overstay of children below 7 (or 14).

...the immigrationlaw 2007/8...

Could you post a link to that law, ie the immigration law 2007/8, please?

i can second that.

It is then up to the parents to go and register the child with the embassy of the country(s) which the parents are citizens of to register a child of that nation. The child is permitted to stay in Thailand, as children under 7years (or is it 14?) are allowed to remain here and not be charged/penalised for overstay.

it says 14 years in my sons passport - and he has been in and out of thailand without a visa (or problem) many times.

you should register your child with your embassy and get a passport - how would you leave the country (or come back) without?
