What is the exact situation regarding non-thai minors? Do they need to do visa runs? Or is it a case of they can overstay but the immigartion authorities do not fine them? Is this discretionary or actual policy?

Does anyone's children regularly overstay and if so what are the implications?

Many thanks!

Children do not get fined for overstay. They will get an overstay stamp in their passport. Immigration do not seem too bothered and have even been reported as recommending it.

Thanks. Will having an overstay visa present any future problems for them? They reapply for 1 year O visas every year.

There are never guarentees for the future, but sofar it is no problem and as said immigration even advise it self to just let children overstay.

If the chikdren are going to school in Thailand they can get an educational visa.

That will depend on what kind on what type of visa they now have.

Suggest you go to the following page of the immigration website and choose extension if they are on non immigrant visas thne select the applicable catagory. If on a tourist visa or a visa exempt entry then select change visa.

That website only seems to work properly on IE. if you have any problems.
