ORIGINAL POSTER

Good afternoon everyone, I have an 8 month old daughter and her visa expires one month before my, when I was to renew her. The immigration official said that I could wait with her visa expired for a month until mine was renewed. So i went to renew and everything went fine, but they did not renew with our date mathup, causing next year to go through this again, does anyone know if it is illegal for my daughter to spend this month with the visa expired? And what could I be doing? 

Thanks 

Gui

TLDR : Answer Summary

The post discusses concerns about an 8-month-old's visa status in Thailand after it expired a month before the parent's renewal. The immigration official had indicated it was acceptable to wait after expiration. Other comments suggest that while the baby technically overstayed, children are usually not fined for such issues. There seems to be confusion regarding the matching of visa expiration dates for both parent and child.

if you're getting extensions a year at a time the dates will never match up :O They'll always expire on the same date and no matter if you wait and let your daughter be on overstay and get her extension when you do yours the dates will still be mis-matched.

I think you did not renew your visa but applied for a new Extension of Stay at Immigration Office. Officially seen your daughter was one month on overstay, but children are not fined for that.
