Can my infant son stay in Thailand if we get year-long education visas?

You have your opinion. I have mine. Doesn’t matter to the child either way.

@Stuart ********

just so u know i have personally seen that they do not place stamps in child's passports as they cant overstay *again this was a few years back* thanks for u comment though - but it seems like u dont know much about this loophole as i have known not only family but lots of friends who have gone through this. As long as the kid leaves before their 12th birthday they are cool. But again i advised the man to double check the laws. :) have a great day 555 cant break the law if there is none in regards to a child....but again the laws need to be rechecked been here 35 years and watched this for years :)

@Av *********

actually they would get a stamp. Any foreigner needs a visa or extension to allow them to stay in Thailand. If they don’t have one they have broken the law. The fact that Thailand doesn’t fine or blacklist children for doing so doesn’t mean they haven’t broken the law. They have but there is no repercussions from doing so other than a stamp on their passport saying so.

For future entries having such a stamp is irrelevant.

oh yeah - ive been here about 35 years. Best reminder - ask ask ask around.....basically you can get anything done in Thailand just never stop asking...eventually someone can pull the strings. Befriend some Hi-so ppl to, they have lots of connections lol...

the international schools I visited when looking for somewhere for my kids all wanted to see what visa my kids were on. They were my dependents so no issues but if on visa exempt/overstay then it might be a problem.

@Chris ***************

yes totally possible and of course the proper way to go....but u know things happen and ppl prefer to use the loopholes. Thailand is full of loopholes which is why many live there. Im a loophole type of gal lol. U know how many speeding tickets i never got in thailand cause of loopholes lol

@Chris ***************

he wouldnt get an overstay stamp cause there is no overstay (but double check the laws - this was how it was for many years. My sister had her kids here for 11 yrs this way - so did many others) cant break a law that isnt one

@Chris ***************

if there is no overstay for children then there is no overstay it isnt breaking a law if there isnt one lol

But u can get a family visa for him because he is ur family up to u how u go about it. Thats why its the land of smiles - so many ways to accomplish something
