Can Children Apply for ED Visas from Inside Thailand?

Nov 2, 2019
6 years ago
I will need to find schools for my children (ages 2.5 and 9.5 y.o.) after we arrive to Chiang Mai, Thailand and obtain ed visas for them. I will not be able to leave Thailand for 90 days to go to a Thai Embassy outside of Thailand because I have a new ed single entry visa. My question is can the kids' ed visas be applied for from inside Thailand?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The process for applying for ED visas for children while in Thailand can depend on the schools they plan to enroll in. It's important to check with those schools about their policies regarding visa applications. Some comments also suggest that leaving Thailand is possible if a reentry permit is obtained.

James Miller 60 days tourist visas. Originally we wanted to get dependant visas for them but that did not work out. We are getting tourist visas for them now.

You can leave Thailand no problem, just make sure you buy a reentry permit before you leave inorder to keep your visa
