ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a NON-O visa to enroll your child full-time in an international school in Thailand, you need to consider the financial requirements set by immigration. While you're aware of the need to pay the school's tuition a year in advance, immigration specifically requires that you have at least 500,000 baht in your Thai bank account at the time of your application. This amount must be maintained for one month for the first visa extension and for three months for subsequent extensions. Additionally, ensure you have an authenticated copy of your child’s birth certificate, as this may be a lengthy process.
