Do children on a student visa in Thailand need their own visas?

@Bob *********

Kids don't get fined or banned for overstaying but their passport is stamped 'overstay'. This shouldn't be a problem if they're not going to a proper school in Thailand. Personally I prefer my son to be here legally.

@Henry ********

it doesn’t mater because there kids

@Bob *********

It does if they want to live here and go to school.

@Henry ********

if they go to school they’ll get an ED visa but that’s not what this post is about is it ???

@Bob *********

No, as the OP is home schooling. One issue with getting an Ed visa is an overstay in the kid's passport can cause a problem. Always best for children to be in Thailand legally.

@Bob *********

BS:

just cause they wont be fined if overstay, everyone needs a visa to enter Thailand, or visa exempt entry

@Richard ********

There already here READ the post and how about if they entered on an exempt stamp no visa ???

@Bob *********

yes and i bet the visa expired<

so what happens if the police ask to see the kids passports an notice the visa is expired?

just say, "ok, no problem"

Can Children Be Fined for Overstay?

Children under the age of 15 are not fined for overstaying but will still receive an overstay stamp – if they overstay – when they leave the country.

Please note that being exempt from the overstay fine does not make children exempt from needing a valid visa to enter the country, or a valid extension to stay in the country.

@Richard ********

the police or immigration will do nothing to them what don’t you understand it’s not like an adult on overstay if caught they’ll get locked up but not now or never a kid

@Richard ********

ED visas
