Good afternoon. I have sorted out my extension of stay from ‘guardian’ to retirement and my wife is tagging along. We have two daughters, one is still in school and she got her ed extension. The other is 17 years old, she finished school, her current extension finishes on the 30/06 but she will stay her for 1 more month. What are my options? Can she apply for a Covid extension? I understand that she can be in overstay and not be fined as she is still a minor but I would really want to avoid that. Any help will be welcome!
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user has changed their visa status from ‘guardian’ to retirement and seeks guidance on their 17-year-old daughter’s visa situation as her current extension ends soon. Comments suggest considering a short trip to a neighboring country to re-enter Thailand under visa-exempt entry, applying for an Extension of Stay for being unable to travel, or exploring a family visit visa extension. While minors under 15 are exempt from fines for overstaying, those between 15 and 18 can face fines but not blacklisting.
