Hi Guys
what do we do after our child is born in Thailand ?
I am on a retirement extension
and my wife has an extension linked to mine.
1) does our child need a visa to leave the country
2) what type of visa / extension does my child need?
3) What setps do we need to take?
4) will we need money in the bank for whatever visa our child needs?
TLDR : Answer Summary
After the birth of a child in Thailand, expats should follow these steps: Register the birth and ensure you have a Thai birth certificate; get the birth certificate translated into English; obtain a passport for the child, preferably a temporary one for immediate travel; and be aware that children can enter Thailand without a visa until they are 12 years old. If the child is simply leaving the country for the first time, they can use the birth certificate to show at Passport Control. An official visa may not be necessary until the child leaves Thailand and returns, allowing a potential overstay without penalties for children under 15.
