If I was to apply for the ED visa, can my wife get a dependent visa if she doesn’t want to take language classes?

Answer summary

When applying for an ED visa, it is not possible for a spouse to obtain a dependent visa if they are not enrolled in language classes. The comments emphasize that the dependent visa is contingent on the primary applicant's educational activities.

It’s a 15 month program to learn Thai. The enrollment is with a university not with a language school.

I think you have 90-day visa and 90-day extensions with that one, so it's probably not eligible

you should be asking your school because they would also have to support you bringing someone. So they can tell you if it's possible.
