Hi, my 2 children who are 7yr and 8 yr are in Thailand visiting me and are here on a thirty day stamp. They arrived with their grandmother who had to go back home earlier than planned.

Their 30 day stamp is due to expire in 12 days but I am 3 days into my 2nd and last O visa entry so if I was to go with them for a visa run would I lose the remaining days on my visa

Any advice please.

Either you get a Re Entry Permit from Immigration to keep your stay alive or don't bother.

Children are not fined or deported for overstay.

Most Immigration Offices will tell you not to bother. They would only get 15 days anyway unless they came back by air.

In your case i wouldn't worry too much. Immigration doesn't fine children for overstay and in your situation often advise to just let them be on overstay. It will be noted in their passport when they leave, but has no consequence regarding getting a new entry into Thailand. Even the same day would be fine.

ever been at nongKhai immigration office

on at least 2 occasions I have witnessed a refusal of a childs permission to stay.

case 1 involved lao parents

case 2 involved chinese parents.

What ever the reason behind it was.......

its better to implement the law.

Maybee you can direct us to the artical regarding children in the thai immigration law.

what you state..... is at least careless.

There have been countless reports on here by parents who have visited Immigration asking advice about Visas and entry for children.

The advice has always been "don't worry as Children under 14 do not get fined for overstay.

It is just one of those well known unwritten laws that most regulars on here will know.

It has been displayed at airport for eons. Children are not subject to fine for overstay. But they must have visa for entry so perhaps that was what you witnissed at Nong Khai.

      Perimenopause- Should see a doctor?

      As above. Thai doctors are not well informed about this and particularly not well informed about bioidentical HRT. (Synthetics may actuslly make matters worse). Certain anti-aging clinics are the best of the lot, but expensive. How severe are her symptoms? Do they vary with menstrual cycle? (PMDD, which oftens worsens at perimenopsysee, is sometimes confused with symptoms if perimenopause/menopause itself. Hall mark of PMDD us that symptoms sre absent in the 2 weeks immediately after menstruation).

      Zelensky v Putin

      No one has betrayed the Ukrainian people but those who divided their country and pushed them into this war. They have had enough and deserve peace.

      Zelensky v Putin

      Now apply the same logic to Russia invading Baltic states, then Poland… Actually, the spirit of Ukrainians is much stronger than that of Poles and Balts combined.So betray those Ukrainian heroes now. Betray them instead of supporting them with all that you only have. And then - expect nothing good for yourself, your children and their children too. You, insects, will get what you truly deserve!

      Germany developed a gel that regrows cartilage in damaged joints

      Exactly. Hence the Health Forum rule against posting news articles. These are almost always inaccurate or misleading. . This is the gel refetred to https://meidrix.de/en/chondrofiller/ It us not new, and it does not regrow cartilege. It is a collagen subdlstance that can be s implanted to help vompensate for worn out cartilege. Thread closed

      Dental clinic: no medical certificate for visa ?

      Yeah, what was I thinking, trying to outsmart an educated psychiatrist like you, who perfectly diagnosed my dissociative identity disorder. I guess the oxygen levels in my Mama`s basement are a bit low, since she installed that new heater. At no point have I mentioned that I was wasting my time. All I wrote is, that I cannot and will not hand out any certificate or confirmation for official use as long as do not get any written form from that authority exactly describing what kind of information I have to provide and that I am authorized to do that. Any written and signed statement from a medic is like a document and you have to take responsibility for it. You have no idea, what people demanded from me in the past. One asked me to write a confirmation that some work his previous dentist had performed was crap. Another wanted a certificate that he was allergic to vaccines. To any kind of vaccine. Normally when you need some official work done, you`ll get some list of documents which you`ll have to provide and if a medical certificate is asked for, there is normally a form. For renewing my doctor`s license every year I need among other things a medical certificate, stating that I do not have Syphilis, tuberculosis and elephantiasis (no joke). It is a preprinted from, which a doctor has to fill and stamp (they never checked for elephantiasis though). I cannot just walk into a doctors clinic and tell him to certify whatever I want. Why should they refuse, what the OP asked for, risking to lose a good implant patient? So again, provide the official papers, with the correct form or at least some official list stating what I should certify plus that I am authorized to do it, and I`ll gladly help you. No prepayment upfront needed. I only charge, what I have performed. As for certificates, I`ve never asked my patients for more than to buy me a beer. I can`t confirm that. Many people would do anything to stay here as long as possible. However, those who wouldn't normally get their surgery and come back 3 months or more later for the crowns. Seriously, I was just trying to provide some useful information to contribute to the forum. Why do I have to face all that negativity? By the way, @The Fugitive I never wrote, I was THAI. If I prove you wrong, would you have the decency to apologize for your wrong allegations? Plus explain my "multiple" personalities.

      Indian street scammers in Sukhumvit

      In what world is pointing out you are bald or fat to a stranger going to win you any customers? Does that sort of cold marketting work? Same thing tonight in Bangkok. Pakistani or Indian guy randomly pointed at a guy that he was bald. He was lucky he didn't get knocked out, the Russian was drunk as a skunk and wasn't aware it was just an idiot trying to direct you to a shop.
