Just a quick note: in Penang. Used Jim's place to help sort out the infant visa we needed for our newborn son (2 month old). My wife and I are on non B teaching visas. Cost was 380ringgit (3 month) plus 25r for them to deliver the passports and work permits to our hotel after they got the visa. Timeline was 2 full working business days and I did not have to go to the embassy at all.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shared their experience obtaining a Non-O visa for their 2-month-old son in Penang, Malaysia, while holding Non-B teaching visas. They used a service called Jim's place, which handled everything for a cost of 380 ringgit for a 3-month visa, plus a delivery fee. The process took two business days, and they did not need to visit the embassy. Other users commented on the no overstay fines for children under 15, asked about work permits, and clarified that they submitted copies of their own work permits as documents for the visa application.

Question, how did you get a work permit outside of Thailand?

I think he means they had to supply their work permits along with passports as supporting documents for the Non-O application for their child. Then everything was returned after the application. The embassies in Malaysia need the originals of all the documents to be provided.

Can you get work permits there?

@Steve ******
they used their passports AND work permits to support the application for the visa for their child.

Benjamin That's what I thought. The OP said he got work permits via Jim's Place in Penang

You can only get a work permit within Thailand.

I do not know what an infant visa is, but you do know that children till the age of 15 years are not fined for overstay and till 18 years not blacklisted for overstay.

True but still advisable to keep them legal, especially if you plan to school them in Thailand.
