Can my family join me in Thailand on a DTV visa?

NOT 🚫 TRUE... check the Thai Embassy or Consulate for its requirements for the DTV dependent visa.

Bank statements are not a visa requirement, but just a way to prove the official visa requirement of 500k.

This requirement is for every applicant, it is up to the embassy how they want you to prove this.

The fact that some embassies don't ask for proof is something that indeed happens, not good in my opinion.

@Luit ****************

The official requirements don’t seem to mean much. They vary from embassy to embassy. For example, I only showed a one-month bank statement, even though it says everywhere that three months are required. The same applies to the extra funds needed in a bank account for children. I’ve seen cases where a sponsorship letter was all that was required for two children, even with only 500K in the account. All you need to do is ask around at different embassies if you’re looking for an easier route.

@Kuba ******

So because some embassies don't request for all requirements you accuse others of being wrong when they just quote the official requirements?

BrilliantZebra7843 You are wrong, it's different in every consulate. I've seen it done multiple times without issue. You just need to ask.

BrilliantZebra7843 it varies by consulate

That is what you did read, I read what he wrote:

Immigration does issue Extensions of Stay, BUT it is to much hassle. for the DTV holders and a quick border run is more easy

But yeah, it is always Immigration who is kicking out foreigners, they do not want foreigners unless they use a special service or the new border run at Satun in stead of Cambodia.

@Stuart ********

has said that Thai Immigration Officers prefer not to extend the DTV visa in Thailand due to the amounts of paperwork documents etc. A simple border bounce by Air or land is the best way to get the DTV 180 day extension.

@James *******

happy new year.

Always love to read that many people did get the DTV without meeting basic requirements, i guess that is why so many people decide to shout out that Immigration does not issue Extensions.

@Robert ******

😜 there are MANY reports of those who have been successful in getting the DTV visa for their dependents on the DTV Visa forum. Key is in meeting the requirements for it per Thai Embassy or Consulate where they're making dependent applications. The requirements do vary. Best to read posts about how others were successful.

BTW... Happy New Year 🎊🕛🎇

@James *******

That sort out a big problem for many.

Just make a sponsor letter with AI and no money in a bank account is needed.

ALL DTV applicants can be broke, just need to make a letter.

@Robert ******

the sponsor does need to show PROOF of the 500,000 Thai baht in any bank account. And meet the requirements for the DTV visa for dependents per Thai Embassy or Consulate where the dependent DTV Visa Application will be SUBMITTED.
