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.

Whether you’re coming to Thailand for a few weeks or planning a long-term stay, we can assist with:

  • Gathering and reviewing the required documents
  • Selecting the best visa option for each family member
  • Submitting visa applications
  • Following up with embassies or immigration offices
  • Managing extensions and renewals

Get in touch today to schedule a personalized consultation and make your family’s journey to Thailand smooth and stress-free.

Heard from Real Users

Brian Homer

"I contacted them when I realized I needed to get a 60 day visa in my own country, USA, before arriving in Thailand. They quickly responded to every email... I was very pleased with their service"

Andre Gravel

"Numfhon was great! So patient and attentive with my many questions and excellent advice. Entering Thailand was a breeze thanks to her kind help! You can’t ask for more."

Jon H.

"I had watched their YouTube videos and contacted them with a question about visa services. They were a great help in getting my Special Tourist Visa. Most likely I wouldn't have gotten the approvals in time, and I would have had to reschedule my dates, flights, arrival etc. and at great additional expense had I done it myself. I would definitely recommend them for this service."
