TLDR : Answer Summary
The question pertains to qualifying for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) while being added to a mother's bank account for financial support, especially in the context of taking cooking classes. Comments suggest that for joint bank accounts, there may be a requirement of having double the savings amount, specifically mentioning 1 million THB, and that age may also play a role in eligibility.

I think it topicstarter does not want to have a dependant visa, but wants to use the bank account he shares with his mother to apply for himsef a DTV. I think some embassies might accept that, but then want double the money on the account.

are you named on the bank account which has your mother's name too ? And is the bank account balance more than 1 million Thai baht? How many months has the bank account balance been greater than 1 million Thai baht ?

What's your passport nation?

Where do you plan on applying for the DTV visa?

Where are both of you now?
