ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone! My thai wife is going to Thailand with my dauthter soon, they will stay 2 months in the country. My 6 months old daughter will enter Thailand with french passport and I heard that baby under 14 months won’t get any any overstay troubles as they are following parents. Can anyone confirm that? I could do visa but that’s very boring as we are not living in Paris. Thanks for your time.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user inquiring about their 6-month-old daughter's immigration status while entering Thailand with a French passport received confirmation that children under 15 years old are not fined for overstays. It's recommended to ensure that the child's Thai citizenship can be applied for upon entry.

, After she enter Thailand with French passport, she can apply for extension as being Thai citizen for free, can't she? Hopefully much less trouble at least totally legal if she can.

not for free for 1900baht and they'd get a year extension based on being a thai national.

No problems at all. Children under 15 y/o are not fined for overstay and children under 18 y/o are not banned for overstay.

Thx Tod. You confirm that we won’t have trouble at arrival with thai immigration (as return ticket is 2 months later without visa)?

Yes, you're right about your child except it's not 14 months, but 14 *years*!
