Do I need to show 500k baht for a DTV application as a spouse if my husband is the primary applicant?

If you apply in Jakarta, you can apply at the same time with your husband and you only need 500k once. I have just done that.

Brit here.

I applied via London embassy (freelancer)

Got my visa then applied for my husbands spouse visa. Neither of us have a UK bank account.

We used a visa agent.

Here’s how that went…

I have a Thai bank account, was told to put an additional 500k in my account for him.

Did that.

10 days later the embassy (via the agent) said that wasn’t good enough and that he also needed a Thai bank account with 500k in.

Flew to Thailand, opened a Bangkok bank account for him, put the 500k in there.

They then requested proof of his flight.

Sent that off.

Got his visa this morning (10 days after sending the flight details off)

Reading all the posts on here I think it really does depend on the embassy.

No

You can apply together

Need sponsorship letter from your husband

Copy of his bank statement

I think you need to be more specific on two key items that will drive the answers (1) what type of DTV - medical, ‘soft Thai’ or digital nomad, and (2) which embassy will you be applying to ?

I have read from here (not personal experience) that the first spouse will only need to issue a letter confirming he/she is sponsoring the second spouse's application, there is no need for each spouse to have 500k bhats.

It’s 500 K per person up to two adults and two dependent children. For a couple it’s 1 million for a couple with two kids is 2 million. It doesn’t depend on the embassy.

Each applicant needs 500K baht banked.

Your husband needs the bank statement but you don't. The visa fee is 400 USD for each person.

Best to ask the embassy you want to apply through
