What visa options are available for a British passport holder to bring his children to Thailand for schooling?

Michael *********

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.

Can I apply for a tourist visa while on a soon-to-expire ED visa in Thailand?

More senior members can advise but I believe you can only hold one Visa at a time.

Will traveling to Cambodia on a 60-day visa affect my visa status and registration in Thailand?

Michael *********

Get a re entry permit at the airport 1000bht to keep your Visa active (it is still counting down). If you leave your place of residence for more than 24hrs, upon return a new TM30 should be reported by your landlord within 24hrs.

Well you won’t be getting one now. Double & triple entry Visa’s no longer exist. No country in the region (other than Australia) will give you a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa unless you hold residency.

Bianca Daniella you mentioned a ‘multiple entry visa’ an METV is a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa’. A Tourist Visa SETV only gives single entry for 60 days extendable for 30.

I was under the impression from previous reports that the Malaysian authorities were now insisting on spending 1 night in the country , unless bouncing a Visa. The nearest place to attain an METV is Australia, unless you hold residency in a nearby country.
