If your daughter will study in Thai, I am sure her school admission officier will provide you exact information

I don’t think so as she will go to local school thanksBrandon ************
It's fine, just know that your daughter will be treated as a foreigner until she gets her Thai passport, leaves Thailand, and returns using it. That means she will have to deal with things like 90 day reports, TM30, and applying for extensions until she enters with her Thai passport.
