How can I apply for my 10-month-old baby's dependent visa at the Thai Embassy in HCMC?

Thai Embassy Dependent Visa Child Visa Application HCMC Visa Exemption Overstay Bank Statements Visa Sponsorship

ORIGINAL POSTER

My DTV was approved on Monday by the Thai Embassy in HCMC. I have a 10-month-old baby and would like to apply for her as a dependent. I have a few questions about applying for my child online:

Can the Thai Embassy in HCMC accept my bank statements to sponsor my child?

For the "occupation" field, since she's just a baby and not a student yet, what should I do?

We plan to travel to Thailand on November 2, and I'm worried I won't have enough time for her visa application. Is there any way to handle this situation without changing the flight date?

Thank you for your advice.

You can get a visa for your kid but be aware you don’t really need one. Children and their parents aren’t penalized for overstays as long as the parents have a proper visa. The child does get an overstay stamp in their passport, but it is not held against them on re-entry.

I think there is no need. Babies can enter visa exempt (if from a visa exempt country), and overstay without any fines.

Bad idea. Even without fines, they still incur an overstay stamp and this could affect visa applications for foreign countries. Not to mention the stress you undergo at the airport or Port of departure when caught.

Just put N/A for any irrelevant category regarding the dependant child. Yes show your bank info with a sponsorship cover letter.
