Can my British-Thai daughter leave Thailand without a valid Thai passport?

And I'm pretty sure that you'll need a letter from her mom to allow her traveling alone with her father.

@Simon ******
 Better she get a Thai passport as well, otherwise she would need a visa to come back like any foreigner.

Beside, I'm sure immigration will not let a Thai national out of the country without a passport. For Thai law, she is a Thai, whatever her other nationalities are.

 I've got one with my girl for house, car and food expenses (added value when she requested Schengen, US and Canadian visas) and one with my business partner to put the shop profit. I have my own account as well of course.

Frédéric ******************
@Kathy ***************
 You didn't mention the date, sorry. This rule started on April 2021.

Anyway you haven't spent 16 days in the room though, on the 16th day you were free to leave from 6.00am 😉

Does Thailand have a social security system or old age pension for its citizens?
Frédéric ******************
Yes, 600 baht for every elder. Beside civil servants, police and military got their own. Others can pay monthly to the social welfare on a voluntary basis (I for one pay 60 baht per month).

What long-term visa in Thailand allows for the longest continuous stay without annual renewals and immigration check-ins?
Frédéric ******************
@Darren ******
 I don't deny that. Just wanted to point out this option is available only with BOI registered companies, which usually are not the shop next door.
