What should I know about bringing my child to Thailand on a visa exemption or DTV?

Question

Just landed at Suvarmabhumi after getting the DTV approval on Wednesday. Super easy. Just said I have DTV, showed her on my phone and she stamped me in till Nov 4. My child was with me, no DTV she asked if he was visa exempt and how long they would be staying I said 2 months. She said I should get the DTV for them too so it’s easier when they come and go. In hindsight I was going to do it in Hanoi but said we would next time we leave. Since Bangkok is really a base and we will be in and out every 2 months or so anyway. But it seems they definitely are mentioning getting visas over doing visa (exempt)runs. 

We were here 90 days then left late Aprill for China and Vietnam. Before that 2022 and 2023 90 days with one bounce 

Lots of people had to leave the line because they didn’t do the TDAC even though there are signs everywhere. She didn’t ask to see it just if we did. I said yes and that was it.

The user recently entered Thailand through Suvarnabhumi Airport after receiving DTV approval and reported that the process was smooth. They mentioned needing a DTV for their child for easier re-entry, as they plan to be in and out of the country frequently. They noted that many travelers were unaware of the TDAC requirement. Comments from other users included information about lack of penalties for child overstays, and one shared their similar DTV stamp experience.

There are no fines for overstay on a child under 15 and there is no banning for overstay on a child under 18. If they're small kids, just let them overstay, nothing will happen, not to the child and not to you.

I know foreigners here with children on multi-YEAR overstays
