What is your nationality? Assuming your child is the same.

As a French national you and your child may enter visa exempt for 30 days. When you have an education visa your child could get a dependent visa off the back of that. Your child does not need an education visa to attend a nursery school.

you would have to apply for a “dependent” visa for your child. Your child wouldn’t receive one automatically. They can piggyback off of your long term visa.

they can be. However a child (under 15) cannot be fined or blacklisted for overstay so many don’t bother with a visa for their children. No repercussions on future entries if they have an overstay stamp.

Can my child stay in Thailand while I switch language schools and obtain new visas for both of us?
