Hello! We are coming to Thailand early November. The plan is to come out on the 60 tourist visa from Australia, then within the 60 days swap over to an education visa for 6/12 months as my husband will be enrolling in a language school. My only concern is I'll be 7 months pregnant on arrival and worried I won't be allowed in the country as my due date is when the tourist visa ends. Is this likely to happen?? Thanks 🙂

Answer summary

The user is concerned about entering Thailand on a 60-day tourist visa while seven months pregnant, with a due date coinciding with the visa's expiration. Responses indicate that it's unlikely she would be denied entry due to her pregnancy. Options for extending the tourist visa and transitioning to an education visa after enrollment in a language school were also discussed.

I suggest maybe waiting and having the baby in Australia and then coming in 2 months or so with the correct visa.

Having a baby with little or no family around in a strange place will be a challenge.

But you might require a doctors permission to travel by plane.

Entering Thailand would not be the problem. As you write your Husband is enrolling in a language school and can apply for an ED visa but how do you like to stay in country.

unlikely you'd be denied entry because you're pregnant, and you can always extend a 60 day tourist visa entry by another 30 days at the immigration office for 1900baht.

Seeing as having a foreign born baby here doesn't mean they're thai citizens I don't think the immigration people will say a word to you.
