Is there a Fee for children for visa exemption extension?

Featured Replies

We are from the USA on a visa exemption and have two children age 1 and 3. If we go to immigration to get an extension I know it costs 1900 baht but do the children pay that as well? Also, if we just make a border run to poi pet do the children get a visa in Cambodia for free? Thanks in advance

There extension fee exemption for children. You will need to pay the 1900 baht for each of them.

FYI children under the age of 15 do not pay a overstay fine. They get an overstay stamp though.

They will also have to pay for the visa on entry for Cambodia.

Thanks ubonjoe. That sucks. 8000 baht as opposed to a border run that might cost me about 3000. We are in chumpon right now and could do the ranong border run but I don't really want to have an in out as my first stamp in our visas. Is the crackdown as bad as everyone is making it sound?

Your situation has nothing to do with the crackdown.

As explained above children do not pay overstays fines which doesn't mean they are legal to stay.

At the end the decision and responsibility is your.

Very true. Thank you fr your help. I think we will just go for the extension for our first go round. Do you know if my family has to join me at the immigration offices? Do I only need the passports or proof of onward travel, etc?

Everybody getting the extension will need to be present for the application.

There is no requirement for proof of onward travel for the extensions.

Just passports and copies of the photo page and entry/permit to stay stamps and the TM6 departure cards.

Last question I promise. If I extend does the 30 days begin on the date I extend or From the time my initial visa exemption started, the 18th? Have you ever heard of repurcusions of children overstaying?

The 30 days is added to your current 30 days stay.

So 60 days in total.

The kids will not have a problem.
