ORIGINAL POSTER
For someone on the DTV and having a spouse and children covered under the same visa, did each person have to have the income requirement in the bank

In our case that would be 4 times the amount

TLDR : Answer Summary
The income requirement for dependents on a DTV visa varies by embassy. While there is no strict income requirement per individual, it's recommended to show a strong financial balance, typically around 1-1.5 million Thai Baht for funding. Some embassies may accept a shared account with a sufficient total amount (e.g., 500k Baht for the family), while others may require additional funds for each dependent. Ultimately, each individual must apply for their own visa and pay the respective fees.

I did mine in Taipei. Used the same 500k for me and my 2 children

Used the same account for us all and the same amount. I didn’t increase the amount per person. As others said, may be dependent upon the embassy.

I guess it depends on the embassy. In Paris 500k was enough for my daughter and I

Depends on the embassy you're applying through. Also the age of the children should be considered. Teenagers cost more to take care of. I'd definitely show a strong long term balance of at least a 1-1.5 million baht, along with your sponsorship letter. There is no income requirement but there is a funding requirement, and each individual applies for their own Visa and pays the fee. First the primary holder and once that Visa has been granted it's referred to for the dependants applications.
