Thanks for the acceptance.

Quick question. If someone gets an ED visa and they have a kid. Will the kid get a Non O visa easily? 

Does it have to be a one year ED visa to get a non O because some university students get 3-6 month extensions. 

Thx in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The post inquires about the ease of obtaining a Non-O visa for a child whose parent holds an ED visa in Thailand. One commenter shares a personal experience where their children were issued tourist visas instead of Non-O visas under their ED visas, suggesting that the process may be more complicated than anticipated. Overall, the questions revolve around the requirements and restrictions concerning visa types for dependents of ED visa holders.

It should not be hard to get an “erectile dysfunction” visa.

And the duration of both visas is determined by the length of study enrollment.

Looks like your education provider will have to endorse the o visa for your child

Looking back on it all, I wish I would’ve checked on here with Garrett.......We just returned from Hanoi with our 11 and 15 yr old kids on Tourist Visas because they wouldn’t issue Non-O to them under mine or my wife’s ED Visas. We had been told by others that our kids could follow one of us on a Non-O.

So I would take Garrett Greenwald’s advice. 👍🏼😁

they just said “you can’t do that” 🤷🏼‍♂️ They wanted our kids on their own ED Visas, but they don’t start school until August.
