ORIGINAL POSTER

I might sound like a broken record but please bear with me. So this is what we have decided:

1. Will register both of us for a 3.months Thai language class with a reputable institute here in Chiang Mai ..

2. I will have 500k before applying for dtv by Xmas time but not much months before that, instead I have money more than what is needed in my investment account

3. Hubby will be ok since he has all the money😀

Questions:

1. Can I apply using that 500k in Bkk bank and supported by my investment account?

2. Is it better or safer just to be a dependent and apply after hubby gets approved?

Thank you all for your patience and kind responses..

Thai Language courses don't qualify for getting the DTV. About the money, I think only money deposited in regular accounts counts. Lastly, but not less important, remember you'll need to temporarily leave Thailand to apply for the visa at a Thai Embassy or consulate abroad, while you're physically waiting there.

Thai language is not soft skills. It normally falls under ED visa.

So what under what category are you applying for DTV?

Is having 500,000 THB in fixed accounts sufficient for financial proof when applying for a DTV visa in Thailand?
