Hello everyone,

I have a quick question regarding the DTV Visa based on the Soft Power option.

For a married couple, is it sufficient if only one person completes the Soft Power course, or do both spouses need to take the course?

Are there any married couples here who can share their experience on whether it worked with just one course, or if both were required?

Thank you very much 🙏

Answer summary

In response to the question about whether both spouses need to complete the Soft Power course for the DTV Visa in Thailand, it's confirmed that only one spouse needs to take the course. The other spouse can apply for a dependent DTV visa, though they must demonstrate financial stability, either through personal savings or a sponsorship letter from the primary DTV holder.

Only one needs soft power course and other can apply as dependent.

Finances need to be proven for the dependent too. For the dependent 500,000 THB in self saving account or sponsorship letter from the primary DTV holder.

One can take the course and the other get a dependent DTV visa, both do not have to take the SP course.
