Can my daughter-in-law with an expired NZ passport and a new Thai passport extend her stay in Thailand?
My (Thai born) daughter in law is here ( NZ passport expires 7 months) visa exempt which she now realises expired on 29 March. She now has a new Thai passport as well. Can she go to Immigration, pay the overstay fine and have her new Thai passport stamped as currently in Thailand. Her NZ passport will only allow 1 extension before it becomes invalid for any new stamps anyway. With the Virus crap there's no telling how long she will need to stay here.
Answer summary
The individual is inquiring about the ability of their daughter-in-law, who is a Thai citizen but entered Thailand on an expired New Zealand passport, to resolve her visa situation. She is currently facing an overstay since her visa exemption expired on March 29. The community suggests that she can obtain a 1-year extension in her NZ passport based on her Thai citizenship, provided she pays a fee and presents necessary documentation. It is also noted that switching passports within Thailand is not allowed.

OPThanks Tod. The extension will be limited to the valid expiry date of the passport correct...November something. And is this facility available on the 30day visa exempt entry stamp. I haven't had cause to check this out before this morning

I'm closing comments. I think the OP knows that children under 15 years old don't get fined for overstays, and that she can also get a 1 year extension of stay based on being a Thai citizen for 1,900THB.

Why did she enter on NZ passport? You can enter on an Expired Thai passport.
Robert *******
she can not swap passports in country. She has to leave by air using the NZ passport and come back using the Thai passpost
She can get a 1 year Extension of Stay in her NZ passport based on being a Thai citizen, cost 1.900 Thb, the best and easiest solution for this time.

How old is the daughter in law? If she is under 15, she will not get fined or punished for being on overstay.
