ORIGINAL POSTERHi everyone! My spouse already has a DTV. I am planning to apply for myself and our two children (aged 11 and 15) as dependents.
I have a question regarding the financial requirement: Do I need to show 500k THB for each family member (total 1.5M - 2M THB) in a bank account, or is the initial 500k THB that my spouse showed enough for the whole family?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The query concerns the financial requirements for applying for a DTV visa for oneself and two children as dependents, questioning whether the initial 500k THB shown by the spouse is sufficient for the entire family or if separate amounts are needed for each member.
