A school place needs its own checks
The Ministry of Education supports access for children without Thai nationality. This does not guarantee a place at a chosen school, a particular fee or a parent’s immigration status. Request admission rules, teaching language, age placement, calendar, language support and the full compulsory fee schedule. For a private or international provider, verify authorisation and the qualification actually awarded.
Education and immigration are separate files
Gather the birth record, reports, curriculum information and vaccination information requested by the school. Agree translation and certification requirements before paying. Ask the future receiving institution about recognition when continuing studies or returning to Russia. Check the child’s and guardian’s visa files separately: a school letter is not permission for the entire family to remain.
