Are there any visa extensions for parents after the birth of a child in Thailand?
Hi! Maybe somebody knows or ran into the same situation. Are there any extensions due to child birth ( both parents are foreigners).
Now we are on amnesty, baby was born few days ago and of course we need time to prepare documents, consulate said need around 45 days to get passport. Without baby passport we cannot leave Thailand on 31 of July. A little bit confused with this situation...

Answer summary
A user inquired about possible visa extensions for expatriate parents due to the recent birth of their child, as they were on amnesty and needed time to secure the baby's passport to leave Thailand. The responses indicated that there is no direct extension for childbirth but suggested obtaining a medical letter from the doctor to request a 30/60/90-day extension from Thai Immigration. Additionally, it was recommended to wait for any government announcements regarding visa policies.

Yes..just wait till tomorrow untill official decree comes out.
My son was born here to 2 western parents. As long as your kid who was born here never leaves thailand..they can stay without a visa...once they depart..at any age...to return they will be treated as a normal westerner under whatever visa conditions are required for ur passport......
Dont stress

smth. like on humanitarian basis , there was such theoretical option, if I am correct, but not sure if this is a case?Robert *******
@Sergejs ********
I never seen the possibility of an Extension of Stay based on humanitarian basis, but always willing to learn new things, Where can i find the explanation or requirements for this Extension?Sergejs *********
@Robert ******
I just cited it from a memory - there is an Ordinance, likely, by Ministry of Interior, where all kinds of extensions listed, long list, incl. medical one, or if someone in court proceedings etc.I didn't need it, so I didn't save this document.
