Hello,

I know the DTV is relatively new for this question, but just curious if anyone with DTV has thought about raising a family in Thailand or already gave birth to a kid here.

I know the elite visa is probably the best option, but I'm just wondering if it is possible to do this with DTV?

Basically, if two foreigners with DTV give birth to a child in Thailand, can the child stay with the parents on DTV?

Answer summary

The question addresses the possibility of two foreigners with a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) having a child in Thailand and the visa status of that child. Although children can receive a DTV as dependents, they do not automatically gain citizen status nor do they inherit their parents' visa status. One commenter notes that kids under 14 are not banned from overstaying, but it’s advisable to have a proper visa for the child. Another commenter shares their personal experience of preparing for their baby, mentioning the need for a birth certificate and applying for a dependent visa once the baby is born.

We have a baby on the way next month. We will have to apply for a birth certificate, UK passport, then take him out of the country and make a dependent DTV application. Our 180-day stamps run out in April, so if the baby's passport doesn't come in time, we will have to make separate border bounces to get a fresh stamp.

I mean, they can get a DTV as a dependant child but kids under the age of 14 aren’t banned for overstate as well.

Obviously though, it would be best if they had an actual visa. Keep in mind that there’s no automatic status for the child in Thailand so they aren’t a citizen or anything by virtue of being born here.
