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..

TLDR : Answer Summary

The individual plans to enroll in a Thai language class and intends to have 500,000 THB in a bank account by Christmas, but has more than the needed amount in an investment account. They seek clarification on whether they can apply for a DTV visa using these funds and if it's safer to apply as a dependent after their spouse's approval. Responses indicate that the Thai language course may not qualify for the DTV, and that only funds from regular accounts may be considered. Furthermore, it's mentioned that a temporary exit from Thailand will be necessary for visa application.

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?
