Sick Kid To Bring Back To Europe But Overstayed In Thailand For Over 6 Months

[Juliani]

My friend (a girl) grew up and has been raised in Germany but she declined her German passport 4 years ago because she thought she will be going to leave in Thailand where her family leaves. Now she has a Thai passport and she leaves in Germany, she also has a schengen unlimited visa.

For the last 7 months, she needed some time to reoganise her life therefore she sent her 2 kids to Thailand to their Grand-Parents, not to far from Bangkok. Her Son is 4 and her Daughter is 5 years old, they have a German Passport.

Her daughter is very sick (mucoviscidose - cystic fibrosis) and she needs medical support whish could only be provided in Germany, not in Thailand. And the problem is the 2 kids are running out of visa. They overstayed in Thailand by over 6 months whish will be about 4.000 euros to pay to the immigration (2.000 per kid according to my calculations).

My friend doesn't have so much money to pay to the Thai immigration and she only realises the problem now when she needs to get the kids back to Germany.

She thinks she might have a chance to apply for a Thai Passport for the kids but it's only a slight chance to get it done on time. She is desperate to find a solution it makes her infinitely sad.

Would you please have any suggestion/idea/solution to bring on board? she really doesn't know how to face the problem

Many thanks in advance for your help,

J.

The Overstay fine is 500baht per day, but limited to 20,000baht, so rethink how much you friend would have to pay.

However, if memory serves me right, Children under 7 are not liable for paying overstay. Which would help your friend immensely.

"Do not overstay in Thailand!

The maximum overstay fine in Thailand is 20,000 baht (approx US$450). Foreign children are subject to fines for overstaying in Thailand only when over the age of seven."
