Does my daughter (born in thailand) to non-thai parents need a visa to continue to stay in the country ? Mother has working permit.

To get a sensible answer you need to provide a little more information, such as:-

The age of your daughter

Nationality of both parents

Does your daughter have a passport

You should get a better response with this information

My crystal ball is down too

More information was requested.

Parents are Swedish/filipina

The child is only 3 months

The child is a holder of a filipino passport.

Thai birth certificate exists.

OK. AFAIK

Your daughter will receive a 30 day stamp on arrival with her Filipino passport.

Now the important bit. She will not be charged with overstay, kids are exempt until the age of 12. I think the counter at Don Muang where you pay overstay has a sign that says 'no charge for kids' but, I've only seen it in passing.

Can someone else verify my information??

There seems to be some argument whether the age is 7 or 14. He'd best ask on arrival, or get the child a visa before entry.

From reading the OP, it sounds as though Kalaminsa is asking whether his daughter needs a visa to continue to stay in Thailand. If I remember correctly, providing your daughter hasn't left the country since her birth, then Thailand does allow the child to remain in Thailand without a visa for a certain period of time, AFAIK this is 2 years, but it maybe longer.

Should you take the child out of the country, then the situation changes. Technically ALL foreigners regardless of age need a valid visa to enter and remain in Thailand. However as other posters have pointed out, children under a certain age are not subject to an overstay fine.

On my kid passport, the officer wrote 14.

When you exit Thailand with the kid, the red light would flash at the immigration booth, the officer comes, looks at your kid, smile and put a small signature on the kid passport.

It's polite to smile back.

it'd be an obligatory smile I'd have thought

After having made many, many border runs with my two kids aged 5 and 9 (both Filipino) we changed from Poipet to Ban Laem.

A couple of months later the Immigration guy in charge asked why we kept bringing the kids with us....................he explaned that up to 14 they are exempt from visa overstay and wrote the same in their passports, together with a stamp.

That was around december last year and no probs since.

his daughter can stay in Thailand without a visa, her first visa is the birth certificate.
