Thabe Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I have a business in Thailand, B visa and work permit. My son who is 5 yrs old lives here as well. Since I have my work permit and B visa, i'm not doing the visaruns anymore. Result, my son has 2.5 yrs overstay. I have to go abroad with my son in a couple of weeks and I need to go to immigration for my re-entry. That's when I realized the problem with my son's overstay. Anybody any idea what to do? Should I just go to Bangkok and take the 20000 THB for the fine or should/can I do something else? Of course, I would like to come back, it's a short trip back 'home'. Thanks.

Lite Beer Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 When leaving through Bangkok airport your son will receive an overstay stamp in his passport but will not be fined. Kids under 14 do not get fined. Get him a Visa before coming back. If you have extensions from Immigration he can get 12 month extensions as you dependent. He can also get extensions as a student if he is going to school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosompoi Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 No fine, just a little extra paper work for the immigration office upon departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Believe posts is talking about 2k for not doing 90 day address reports. Have not seen any report of how this is being handled for children so suspect it is not being charged the same as overstay is not being charged. Please report back on your experience. As said child can stay as your dependent with one year extensions of stay which will only cost 1,900 baht per year. Obtain a non immigrant O visa for him before return to allow him to obtain extension after return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thabe Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'll keep you posted. I'm gonna take my chance by going to Bangkok and see what happens. Back home I'll apply for a non O.
