Visa Options for Infant Travelers to Thailand - What Parents Need to Know

Traveling to Thailand with a baby or toddler? Whether you're planning a short visit or a longer stay, it's important to understand the visa requirements and options available for infants. Unlike adults, infants still need their own travel documents and visas—even if they’re only a few months old.

Visas Available

For infant travelers, the most common visa options include the Tourist Visa, which can be obtained upon arrival or applied for in advance, and the Dependent Visa, if a parent or guardian is holding a valid Non-Immigrant Visa.

  • Tourist Visa: typically valid for 30 days, with the possibility of extension
  • Dependent Visa: validity depends on the main visa holder's visa duration

Requirements

For an infant, the requirements may include:

  • A valid passport
  • Birth certificate
  • Proof of onward travel
  • Proof of financial support
  • Parent's or guardian's valid visa or identification documents

Visa Extensions

The Tourist Visa can be extended, but the Dependent Visa's extension is tied to the main visa holder's extension.

Special Notes

As of May 1, 2025, non-Thai nationals, including infants, must fill out a Digital Arrival Card at least 3 days before entry. For families with multiple members, different visa options may apply to each individual based on their age and status. 

Understanding the right visa path for your infant can be overwhelming, especially when requirements vary by country and consulate. At Thai Kru, we specialize in helping families navigate the visa process with ease.

"My consultation went extremely well for me. The staff is knowledgeable and pleasant, and they even provided me with a detailed report outlining the next steps. Highly recommended"

Chris Messer

"I just want to share with others whom are considering using them, that Thai Kru is an excellent service. They helped me with my STV visa. They helped me every step of the way. This was during a time where it was quite complex getting any visa in Thailand. During the application process, they were excellent especially regarding answering emails quickly and clearly. If there were any issues regarding the requirements I provided, they would inform me and help correct the issue. They had what seemed to be a perfectionist approach. It was very comforting. Everything went really well and it was hassle free. I also had them help me with my subsequent 90 day extension/report. That also went very well and hassle free. There’s no way I could have managed doing all of these processes on my own this smoothly. I’m very grateful and I continue to use there service till this day for my visa purposes in Thailand. I highly recommend them."
