Do I need to extend my 4-year-old's tourist visa in Thailand?
About to do a tourist visa extension... Do I need to do one for my 4 year old also? I've heard that kids don't need visas, but he has one stamped in his passport

OP@Benjamin *****
we are extending for a month before going onto education visaBenjamin ******
The reason why I'm asking is because there is no overstay fines for children under 15 years old, HOWEVER, most international schools do not allow a child who is on overstay to enroll.

There's no punishment or any other penalties for leaving your child on overstay until they are 15. They can clear the overstay stamp by border bouncing. I expect the borders to be reopen by the time they are 15 😮Zoë *****
OP@Benjamin *****
thanks, we aren't planning to enrol him... I've heard they get an overstay stamp which isn't good for in the future. Do you know anything about that?Benjamin ******

By education visa, you mean the child is going to school?Activity
