What is the visa process for our baby born in Thailand while we are on DTVs?

CharmingCherry9039 You need to leave Thailand to your home country or Vietnam/Indonesia/Cambodia/Laos and do a dependant DTV application. It's similar to the original application, you don't need to include workcation/soft power/medical documents again but you need to show up to date 500,000 THB bank statements, sponsor letter as the father/mother and paperwork like the birth certificate.

It really depends on what you’re most comfortable with.

✔️ Option 1 (what many parents choose):

You do not need to apply a separate visa for your newborn at this stage. Once his passport is issued and you travel out and re-enter Thailand together, your baby can enter with you as parents and will receive entry permission based on his passport nationality (for Swiss passport, this is usually visa-exempt entry, currently up to 60 days).

Your baby can stay on that entry stamp. If it later exceeds the permitted period, children under 15 years old are covered by amnesty, meaning no overstay fine and no penalty, and there is no issue when exiting or re-entering Thailand with you.

✔️ Option 2 (also perfectly fine):

If you prefer everything to be clearly documented, you can apply a separate visa for your child, just like you did for your 4-year-old son. Some parents choose this option simply for peace of mind or long-term planning.

So it’s really about what feels right for your family both options are commonly used in practice

Hope this helps and gives you clarity 🙏
