If parent is on ED visa for language, can minors get dependent visa or how does it work with children and their visa? (Home schooled).

Answer summary

Minors cannot obtain a dependent visa if their parent is on an ED visa for language studies. According to comments from the community, children must attend school to get their own visas. Thai regulations state that children up to 15 years old do not face penalties other than possible overstay stamps in their passports.

Nope. They would have to attend school and get their own visas. But from a Thai perspective up until the age of 15 there is no penalty for them other than getting an overstay stamp in their passport
