Do British citizens applying for a DTV visa need to maintain 500k THB for only one month and apply only from their home country?

All you can do is turn up and see what happens. Immigration aren't keen on people leaving while they are supposed to be attending school studying so don't be surprised to be questioned

You are going to get multiple answers on this, but the main one to consider it will depend on the immigration officer you front up to.

Many people have commented on this and similar situations and if you had you bothered to read down on older posts you would have picked up on this. So stop being a worry wart and just get on with it

The risk of denial entry on Ed Visa has been high for many years now. They can't tell whose going to school and who isn't since it's still easy in 2026 to get said visa and not go. Even with Thai knowledge, it doesn't mean you go to school. You will need to have a good level of Thai and bring all proof that you are studying. You should have the school principal number, teacher, etc. You might need backup if you get quizzed, which you will almost guaranteed. The best way in 2026 to get it from said visa is still to use Fast Track with agent.

If u can speak thai you can entre ! if not ask

for solution 😉

You have re-entry, you should not have any problems

Definitely a chance they speak to you in Thai and expect a coherent response!
