Do I need to show additional funds when applying for a dependent visa after getting a DTV visa?

DTV Visa Dependent Visa Visa Requirements Thailand Immigration Bank Account Requirement

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone! Quick DTV visa question.

I know I need to show 500,000 baht in my account for my application. If my visa is approved and then I apply for a dependent visa for my child—do I need to show another 500,000 (so 1 million total), or is the original amount enough?

Planning to apply from Vietnam. Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user asks whether they need to show an additional 500,000 baht in their account for a dependent visa for their child after being approved for a DTV visa, which already requires 500,000 baht. Commenters suggest that the requirement varies by embassy; officially, the 500,000 baht is needed for each dependent, though some embassies may not require this for children.

Officially the 500K requirement also is for each dependant, but some embassies don't need for children

Is it necessary for joint applicants of a DTV visa to have 1,000,000 baht in their account, or is 500,000 baht enough?
