Can my child attend international school in Thailand with a DTV?
If my child (10yo) gets his own DTV, can he attend international school in Thailand?
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.

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.
