TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation discusses the process of obtaining a visa for college-aged children (up to 20 years old) of expatriates residing in Thailand. It notes that children can receive a visa based on their parent's work permit but, once they turn 21, they must apply for their own visa independently.

a child of yours could get a visa based on yours ONLY up to the age of 20. After that they're on their own as far as visas to stay

It's in the rules for extensions based on being the family member of a foreigner allowed here,

Clause 2.20 point 4: In the case of children, adopted children, or spouse’s children, said children, adopted children, or spouse’s children must not be married, must live with the alien as part of the family, and must not be over 20 years of age.
