Do I need to show separate funds for my family when applying for the DTV visa in Malaysia?

Here’s a simple guide for your family applying for DTV Visa in Malaysia:

1️⃣ Husband – Main Applicant (DTV Visa)

Passport + 2” photo

Completed DTV application form

Bank statement 500,000 THB (must be in his account for at least 3 months)

Any extra documents requested by the consulate

This account can cover the whole family – no need for separate funds for wife or kids.

3️⃣ Children – Dependent Visa

✅ Quick tips

Only the main applicant needs the 500,000 THB

Always attach proof of relationship (marriage/birth certificates)

You can apply all visas together or submit Dependents after the main applicant’s visa is approved

You husband has to apply on his own then once accepted he can apply for the whole family doing it in Malaysia is not a good idea many applicants have been refused they don’t have to give a reason why

They say Malaysia is very very strict Google comments

Choose Vietnam or Indonesia. You'll need a million baht between the husband and wife and the sponsorship letter for the children's application.

What Andi said plus they often ask for a 6 month lease/accom booking too

Have you checked posts on Malaysia? It is the strictest embassy to give approval for a DTV. It is likely you will need to show the 500K in both you and your husband's account. The children can be supported via both finances.
