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

My 2-cent, apart from other considerations, some schools have really not difficult program, so it may be more convenient to take the course.

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

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

I’m looking at an ED visa program by university, not sure if that makes a difference.Brandon ************
@Kurt ****
usually needs to be a degree seeking program from my understanding.Brandon ************
@Kurt ****
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.Reply to
