Hello, I need advice or feedback regarding the DTV Visa with families.
Has anyone applied for this visa while “including” family members? Let me explain: my partner (we’re not married) and I are both self-employed, and we would like to move to Thailand with our two-year-old daughter next year. After spending more than seven months here during different trips, we are sure of our decision.
Now, we’re considering possibly hiring an immigration agent for some guidance, but I would also love to hear feedback from this community. Do you think the DTV is the simplest and most suitable option for our case? Since we are not married, would that be an issue for being on the same visa?
Does our daughter need an education visa if she attends school there, or can we simply include her on our visa? I am aware that this visa is very recent, and any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The DTV Visa requires each individual to hold their own visa; you cannot add a partner or child to one visa. Since you are not married, both you and your partner must independently qualify for the DTV. Following the main visa approval, you may apply for your child's dependent DTV. It's uncertain whether your child requires an education visa, as it depends on the school's policies; some may not require it if the child is under 14.
