I have funds in a joint bank account that will cover my income requirement for the DTV. Will that be an issue, or does the account have to be just in my name?
Answer summary
The use of a joint bank account to meet the income requirements for the DTV visa in Thailand is not recommended. While some consular offices may accept a joint account, it is generally advised that you have a conventional account solely in your name. Issues may arise, as Thailand could interpret a joint account as only half yours, potentially necessitating double the funds. It is best to consult directly with the specific consulate related to your application.

Generally speaking Thailand views a joint account as only half belonging to you so you may need double the funds in this case. In some instances they won't allow joint accounts at all. Best to try and speak with the consulate you want to apply through
Gold standard is a conventional chequing or savings account only in your own name. Some consular offices may accept a joint account, some may require the balance to meet or exceed 1M baht or some may flat out reject it, joint accounts aren’t really reliable.
