ManOnTheRoad Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Hello Would like to know what if foreign child below 10 years old overstayed for 5 years ? Will there be fined at the airport ? My son got dual thai and american nationality, 5 years ago we travelled overseas using his american passport and since then hen never used his American passport at all and never travel overseas. does a child needs to pay for overstay ? And what is the best visa for him to stay in thailand based on his mother is a thai ? cheers Edited July 9, 2012 by ManOnTheRoad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Children below the age of 14 year do not have to pay overstay fines. You did not say whether your are married to the Thai mother of your child, but either way for the future the best way will be to get your son a Thai passport, which is easy to obtain and at a low fee. As he appears to be in Thailand on his US passport at present, he will obviously have to leave on that passport, but after that he should always use his Thai passport to enter and leave Thailand and his US passport to enter and leave the USA. If, on the other hand, you wish to complicate life for him and have him continue the use of his US nationality in Thailand, he can under current rules apply for annual extensions of stay for the reason of being a Thai national. At the very least, you should have him get his Thai ID card if he does not have it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanyaburi Mac Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 ID cards for children and adults are issued at your local Amphur, or if there's one of the new Tesaban offices in your area, there. These are subordinate to the Amphur but do split up the workload. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dereklev Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 It is now compulsory for Thai kids to have an ID card when they are 7 years old so your son aged 10 should already have his. If he hasn't your wife needs to get him to the local Amphur asap. If you son is a dual Thai/US national and has a Thai passport why on earth did he enter Thailand on a US pasport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
