Answer summary
An adult holding an ED visa for language studies in Thailand is inquiring if their spouse and children can apply for dependent visas. However, there is some confusion regarding the status of language ED visas, as one comment suggests that immigration has restricted these visas to university applicants only, indicating potential challenges in obtaining dependent visas in such cases.

thats what others have done.....i would research it more....but yeah they would have their kids come in on tourist visas and let them overstayLopsee **********
OP@Av *********
it is for next year as I will be on ED visa, so would the kids be able to stay on tourist visa until I finish then? Av **********
Yeah if they are under 12 and already in thailand its not an issue.......i know many ppl who have had kids there that were overstay until they were 12
