Can a spouse be approved for a DTV Visa just by accompanying their partner (who has a medical treatment plan), or does each person need their own qualifying activity?

Trying to understand if applying as a spouse alone is strong enough or if it’s better for each person to have their own reason.
Answer summary
In order for a spouse to be approved for a DTV Visa while accompanying their partner, they must apply for their own visa as a dependent. Each person needs to have their own qualifying application and must submit financial evidence. The spouse can apply only after the principal visa holder's application is approved, and documentation proving the relationship, such as a marriage certificate, is required.

You'll need one person to apply first under one of the categories and get approval.

Then other can apply under spouse, you can include a letter with the application explaining they will be sponsored by the primary dtv holder.

Financial evidence of the primary DTV holder should be submitted

All applications will need to be done whilst out of Thailand.

I used a step by step guide that had letter templates and checklists that made it really easy to go through the process, and it was very affordable.

I estimate it saved me about 10 hours of my time!

Got my visa in 4 business days.

PM me and I can share the link with you!

If you are approved for DTV visa, it is as I understand possible for a spouse to apply as “dependent”. A bit unclear about the financial side, it might be necessary to show funds equivalent of 500K baht or letter of sponsorship. Sponsor (You) to guarantee to provide for dependant. I recommend you to contact the Thai Embassy that approved you DTV visa. Best of luck.

You still have to get your own visa if you go with a DTV too you would get it to accompany family. You can't apply until after your family member has theirs. You need to show the same money and pay the same fee as the principal visa holder as well as show how you are family, marriage cert etc.
