Responses highlighted that each child requires their own visa for legal residency in Thailand, and while there are specific laws concerning fines and bans for minors, the necessity for a visa for all individuals remains clear.

Every foreign passport needs their own visa to legally stay in thailand. I got both my kids a dependant dtv. It was a much easier process than the main application

While it's true that children under 15 can't be fined and under 17 can't be banned, the law is pretty clear that everyone needs a Visa.
