Question

Not for me but....

What visa option would there be for a British passport holder to come with his 2 kids ( ages 5 and 8 ish) and put them through a school here for a couple of years or longer?

Ask Thailand · Answer

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.

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 [url redacted]

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.
