Nobody can give you an answer. They are quite strict these days. For peace of mind I'd recommend getting a spouse and dependant DTV each before travelling to Thailand would be a wise move

I would get the DTV for you and the kid before coming to Thailand again. They really are quite strict these days.

She cancelled the wrong stamp and gave her the correct one

@George *****

correct

perhaps a bit less risky but a visa doesn't guarantee entry

look at the website relevant to the embassy you will use for your application, many publish their processing times. But be aware there is not a huge difference between coming in visa exempt and coming in on a tourist visa

The visa is valid from the day it is issued

@Deborah ******

they can not

@Deborah ******

currently it allows spouse and children only to a maximum of 4. There's a proposal to lift the cap of 4 but I'm not aware of any plans to change the definition of children which means the child must be under 20 and a grandchild wouldn't count. The daughter and her child will need their own visas

Only money saved prior to /2024 is exempt. So if you saved 20k NZD from your income in 2024 and transferred it to Thailand that income is also assessable for Thai tax. NZ has a DTA with Thailand so you would complete a Thai tax return and in that return you would work out Thai tax payable and also claim a pro rata credit for tax already paid on that income. It's pretty straightforward once you grasp the concept.
