Anyone know about overstay fine for children?
Hi, my daughter is Thai born and when she was 3 weeks old i got her a uk passport and took her and my wife to uk for 3 months.( yes i know i should have got a thai passport also, didnt know at the time)
When her mum (thai) took her back to thailand, they stamped her passport with a 1 month visa,, even tho' they knew she was Thai.and they saw her birth certificate
My wife went to immigration later on (about 3 months after) and they said "dont worry about it cause she is only a child," . but i am worried that when she comes over in 6 months time they will want a fortune at the airport.
Now just recently, we have lost her uk passport , and are in the middle of getting a replacement. But when we get that, there wont be a visa in there, Do i go to immigration and ask them to stamp the old one in there? will all immigration have this on computer?
This is a nightmare for me as i am still in uk and just worrying daily about this.
Can anyone help me with some info please.
What to do???
In my mind its easy for an immigration person in an office to say dont worry about it, cause they are not there when we get to the airport.
Am i going to get fined or are they going to say dont worry and stamp it out, or are they going to throw the book at me??
HEEELLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP please !!
in answer to some of the replies
When she leaves thailand, yes they will stamp the uk passport out, but, if i have already obtained a thai passport before leaving, that will have no stamp in it when she leaves the country , so when she returns to thailand they will se no stamp in the thai passport for leaving thailand, so what will they do then? will they ask for the uk one again and stamp that with a 1month visa again?? Just seems like a never ending circle with no way of ending it. Comon lads you must all be up on this, or at least know someone who can give good advice.
The only way i know is that she leaves thailand on uk passport and then applies for a Thai passort in the uk and returns on that, but this takes 6 weeks to get and my wife cant stay that long in uk due to work,
rack your brains lads,there must be a way i am overlooking, this has to come to a good end
