Overstay for children advice:

We’ve run into a bit of logistical situation regarding our 4yo passport- his passport just passed the 6 month validity mark (meaning still valid, but only 5.5 months left) and we were planning on leaving this week, however we were just notified that although the country we are going to only requires 3 months of validity, the airline requires 6 months and can refuse boarding. So we are left with 2 options- apply for emergency passport or apply for a new passport but my son will then be overstaying his time in Thailand. My husband still has 3 weeks left on his 30 day extension, and myself and the youngest could technically do a visa run, so it would only be the 4year old that is “overstaying”. The processing time at the US embassy is roughly 3 weeks so we can assume he’ll be around 3 weeks overstaying, give or take a week or so. Has anyone had experience with this? Will we be charged the 500baht/day for his overstaying or is that only charged to adults?

Thank you for the help!

I have a question. I'm already on DTV and I'm in Thailand. But may plan a trip to USA to see family and then return. Do the airlines in USA know what DTV is? Because will they require me to have an ongoing or return ticket? Or do they know it's not required for DTV? Because I honestly don't know which country I will fly to 6 months later. It's too far in advance.

If arriving on 60 day visa exempt with plan to extend by 30 days, can onward ticket show departure 89 days after arrival?

Hello everyone. I can't remember this, so I came here to ask. I have been back to the US for about three months now, and since I have the DTV, going back to Thailand, do I need to buy a round-trip ticket, or a one-way ticket should be ok and cause me no problems? I plan to go to BKK, maybe connecting to CNX. Thank you.

Does anybody know if a One way ticket to Thailand is allowed if you have a DTV visa?

I intend to visit (visa exempt) for 45-55 days before leaving to Laos or Vietnam. Flying in from Aus. Given I'm not sure when I'll leave Thailand (definitely before the 60 days though) will I need an onward ticket of some sort? Potentially for both the Airline (Jetstar) or Thai immigration or both? Feel like I'll leave Thailand from Nong Kai by land rather than fly, although nothing is concrete atm. Help appreciated.

Good morning everyone, I would like to leave for Thailand for 90 days, upon arrival I know they ask you for the return ticket, for the Onward Ticket to show the emigration how to proceed, times to buy it and when I should pay it to avoid problems.

Thank you very much and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.

I’m travelling to Thailand next month with my Thai wife and son . We are staying 6 months and I know all the visa side of it. Now the question is - I’m travelling On a one way ticket and have done many times before but I’m also hearing that the airline can refuse you as you don’t have a ticket to return or onwards to anywhere else.

Arrive for 56 days.

Onward tickets. I know the airline will question me, but will Thailand Immigration.?

Been there a few times but generally for a month.

Hello everyone. I am planning on arriving April 1st and staying for 3 months. I plan on using my 30 day on arrival and then extending it by 30 days and then do one visa run. I will have a return ticket and proof of residence where I’m staying in Thailand. Is there anything else I need? Will I get questioned on arrival for not having a return flight booked in 30 days? I am a Canadian passport holder.

Thank you 🙏
