What are the rules regarding overstaying a visa for children under 15 in Thailand?

Henry *********

I have a Lao wife too, and our son is only British. His school prefer the kids to have visas/Extensions and he's always piggy-backed on my work extension, as does my wife. I don't think it's a great idea for kids to have overstay stamps, even if they are not fined, especially if they'll be living/studying in Thailand for a long time.

Do I need a TM30 form for a 30-day extension at Chaengwattana immigration office?

Henry *********

Chaengwattana generally don't enforce TM30 reporting and anyway it's your hotel's responsibility.

Are there additional penalties for late 90-day reporting in Thailand beyond the 2000 baht fine?

Henry *********

I know many people who just report once year. The 2,000 baht fine can be cheaper than taxis!

Can my wife use her old Lao passport with an extension and a new passport at the airport in Bangkok?

Henry *********

Yes, that's a worry. My wife can't remember if they even give the old passport back, but I think they must do.

Henry *********

Thanks. Yes, you get an Embassy letter if you renew a UK passport in Thailand but if you do it in the U.K. you don't. She won't get a letter in Laos, but hopefully that won't be an issue.

How long do you have to notify immigration of a change of address in Thailand, and can it be done online or at a local police station?

Henry *********

When I moved to a new condo, I didn't send off the TM28 form to Immigration until about 3 months after I had moved in. There was no issue; they just returned the slip.

I once got them for my wife and kid, who were back home and at school, by begging them! They didn't want to do it, but my grovelling was impressive.
