TLDR : Answer Summary

A child aged 10 cannot obtain a DTV as it is intended for individuals aged 18 and older. However, children under 15 years old are generally not required to have a visa for attending international schools in Thailand, as there are no penalties for overstaying. Parents are advised to check with local schools and immigration offices regarding specific enrollment and visa requirements.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

No he can't get a DTV. But the children of DTV holders get a "follow" visa.

In practice, children under 15 don't need a visa because there are no penalties.

If he enrols at a school in Thailand he can obtain an Ed visa, and one parent can get a "guardian" visa.
