Do I need to provide proof of financial support for children when applying for a Thai visa?

Hello everyone

We are family of 4 (2 toddlers).

We have little more than 1,000,000 baht on our bank account (enough for only 2 applications).

Has anyone here written a letter of intent stating that they will financially support their children? Was that enough?

TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary
A family of four is inquiring about the financial requirements for applying for Thai visas, specifically regarding proof of funds for their toddlers. Community members share their experiences, indicating that some embassies may not require each dependent to show 500,000 baht and that writing a letter of intent to support the children can be sufficient. However, they emphasize that requirements can vary by embassy, so it is suggested to verify directly with the relevant embassy.

We wrote letters of intent for our children and it worked just fine. We actually had ChatGPT create a template for us and just filled in the required information like passport numbers DOBs and so on.

It depends of the embassy some will ask 500 000 for each or 500 000 for all. Write to the embassy you consider to apply to make sure. You will still need to pay fees for 4 people

Depending on the embassy, your dependents may not need to show 500k thb. Do you know where you’re planning on applying?
