I am going to apply for DTV to study Thai. When I confirm my money balance of bath 500.000 can that be the total of savings and thre monthly incomes?
Summary so far
The post inquires if a savings balance of 500,000 Baht can be a combination of savings and monthly incomes for applying for a DTV visa to study Thai. Comments clarify that the DTV visa is not intended for studying the Thai language and is aimed at those working remotely or experiencing Thai culture. Instead, an ED visa is required for language study. Additionally, the financial requirement is specified as needing 500,000 Baht in an account, with variations in how long it needs to be maintained depending on where the application is made.

Bath is different than Baht, bath is something you wash in, baht is Thai money 🤔

Financial requirement is 500k baht in an account. There is no monthly income requirement.

It's highly unlikely you will get a DTV to study Thai. That's what ED visas are for. The DTV is for remote work and Thai culture. As to the money it depends where you apply, some consulates want to see 500k baht or equivalent in the account for 3 months some only a few weeks, although you should supply 3 months worth of statements

DTV does not allow Thai language study, you need an ED visa
