TLDR : Answer Summary

The poster inquires about visa requirements for his 11-year-old son born in Thailand, who has never traveled outside the country and currently holds no visa. Comments suggest that while children under 15 may not be fined for overstays, they still require a visa. It is advised to consult with the immigration office for guidance on obtaining a visa that matches the parent's visa status. Additionally, clarification is needed on whether the child possesses a passport, as it is necessary for international travel.

If he's never left Thailand, does he have a passport? If not, he can't have a visa. Tod Daniels will correct me if I'm wrong, but once he needs to leave the country, you take his Thai birth certificate with his passport to the airport and he will get an exit stamp and a note in his passport that he was born here. When/If he comes back he will need a visa. How long a non-Thai person, born in Thailand, can remain here without ever leaving, I have no idea.

Children under 15 cannot be fined for overstay and children under 18 cannot be banned for overstay.

BUT

That does not mean they don't need a visa. I would go to the immigration office that you use and see what is required for them to get a visa matching the one you have.
