What are the visa options for my son studying in Chiang Mai while I hold an Ed Visa?
I am looking at moving to Chiang Mai with my 13yr old son for us both to study Thai for 12mths with a language school that looks after the Ed Visa for you. I have found TSL to be highly recommended but they don't do the visa for kids under 15. Any recommendations on other schools that do or what can be done for a visa for him for 12mths? We're Aussies...if that makes a difference. Thanks 😊

I think Andrew, is saying you get an ED and then your child gets a Non-O visa based on being with you here. I don't know IF it will work. Usually it works the other way around, the child gets an ED visa and the parent gets a Non-O based on taking care of them and by showing the requisite 500Kbaht in a thai bank account for 30 days before you apply.

You get an ed visa and he gets a dependent visa. Most schools will process the dependent visa for you for half to less than half the course fee including ed Visa. Has you contacted the school you were thinking about you should have been told this as it is pretty standard. If you were not, you might want to start contacting other schools
