Can children accompany parents on an Elite Visa in Thailand without needing their own visas?

Hi all. Thanks again for all your advice. I wanted to respond with my findings after some people contacted me directly, and after speaking directly with the Thai Elite company.

The easiest and cheapest option would be to have guardian status, with my children on an education visa, but this isn't possible with the school my children go to. We can also learn Thai and get a 9 month visa, which we have already begun doing, but we want to stay longer, hence looking at other options post the 9 months.

It was suggested that my children could overstay with no problem, which prompted me to contact Thai Elite to get their thoughts. Initially they told me that all members need to be part of the elite visa, directing me towards their 'Family Excursion" membership, which would be 1.4M baht for a family of 4.

When I probed about the possibility of my children overstaying, they eventually confirmed that it was possible, which dropped the cost of membership to 800k baht. This was their actual response:

"Please be informed that every individual has to have a proper visa to enter Thailand or exempted for some nationalities regardless of their age. But once entered Thailand, children under 15 years old will be able to stay in the country as long as their parents’ visa is valid without having to pay overstay fine when the children overstay, and no bad record, also.

For example, you have Elite Visa and you can stay in Thailand for 1 year. Your child who is under 15 years old is also with you in the country on an exempted visa that allows him to stay for 30 days, in this case your child can stay with you more than 30 days without overstaying."
