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

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.
