Will my son's overstay stamp affect his future entry to Thailand or visa applications?

ORIGINAL POSTER
Hello, my son of 1.5 years old got an overstay stamp when leaving Thailand. It is the first time he got it. I thought he can overstay his stay as a child below 15 years old without any overstay stamps. Previously border officers didn't stamp his passport at all, so I am concerned he can have some problems to enter Thailand or get a visa in the future. What do you think?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is concerned about their 1.5-year-old son receiving an overstay stamp when leaving Thailand. They believed that children under 15 do not incur penalties, and this is the first overstay stamp received by the child. Multiple comments reassure them that the stamp is normal for children and does not typically lead to future entry issues or visa applications, although there may be complications if the child later needs to apply for an educational visa.

If your son didn't get an overstay stamp before when he was overstaying, he got just lucky.

Don't worry. My son once over stayed 1000 days and he was still allowed back in , never had trouble, touch wood.

No worries the baby is under 15. Hopefully the crazy comments just having a little bit of fun. 🍻

He won't have problems to enter Thailand or apply for an e-visa, but it might be a problem when he wants to do a extension with the immigration office probably

It blows my mind, that we can now do a machine translation so easily. It makes living in Thailand so much easier 🩵

It’s meaningless for a child don’t worry he’s fine

It's normal they get an overstay stamp if they have overstayed

Not a problem at all, unless, possibly, if the child will later on go to school in Thailand and require an Ed visa.

The stamp clearly says it is an overstay for someone under the age of 15, don't worry. They get the stamp, but no fine.
