TLDR : Answer Summary
A British passport holder looking to move to Thailand with two children can explore several visa options to enroll them in school. The options discussed include obtaining Education Visas for the children, which would allow for a possible extension of stay based on guardianship. The father can also consider a Tourist Visa, a Non-Immigrant ED Visa if he plans to study, a Non-Immigrant O Visa (for those married to a Thai national or over 50), or possibly a Non-Immigrant B Visa if he wishes to work while in Thailand. Further information is available through the Thai embassy for personalized guidance.

If he find a visa that suits him the best and he still have some questions, he is always welcome to ask in a new topic.

We need much more information before we can advice what kind of visa could be the best for him. In the mean time tell him this website full with visa information, so he don't have to share his personal details on this page to get information

If your kids are in school on Education Visa’s you can apply for an extension of stay based on guardianship. The school should supply the relevant paperwork. 500,000bht needs to be ‘seasoned’ per application per year, on top of any school fees. More senior members will have more specific information.

And the kids need to get a non immigrant O based on being enrolled in an international school, which you would need to get paperwork from the school to say so.

Before you can apply for this Extension of Stay he need the Non Immigrant O visa based on being a guardian of the children.

a Tourist visa, single or multiple entry, The Non Immirgrant ED visa if you study yourself, the Non Immigrant O visa based on being married to a Thai National if you are married to a Thai National, the Non Immigrant O visa based on being over 50 years of age, if you are over 50 years of age, the Non Immigrant B visa if you wish to work inside Thailand, or the Thai Elite Visa. All depending on unknown information and there are even much more visa's to name.

As your profile says you are currently live in Bangkok, where are your two children now and what passport are they holding? There is available an Ed visa for your children. With opportunity for you to be able to be with your children while they have their Ed Visas.
