Can anyone confirm if when applying from Hanoi if I would need 500k per dependent in my account? I am planning to get dtv and then my wife and 2 kids would be my dependents πŸ™πŸΌ
Answer summary
The general guideline for the DTV visa application in Hanoi indicates that applicants should show 500,000 THB per dependent. In this case, the poster is applying for a DTV visa while including his wife and two children as dependents, suggesting a total requirement of 2,000,000 THB. However, there are mixed reports about the exact requirements based on individual experiences with different Thai embassies. It is recommended to confirm directly with the embassy or use resources available in the community for the most accurate information.

Based on our experience assisting applicants, the general guideline is THB 500,000 is required per dependent.

That means in your case you should be able to show a total of THB 2,000,000 . The overall case needs to make sense for the approval officer on how you will support yourself and your family during your time in Thailand.

That said, having some regular kind of income would significantly strengthen your case. Other factors that affect the approval would also be your nationality and the country of application.

Happy to share that we've successful assisted over 120 DTV applicants through our cooking programs (many with dependents)! So we're quite familiar with the process.. feel free to ask any more questions you have.

A friend of mine has just got his 2 daughters' dependent DTV visas issued (on a Saturday), although he had "only" 750K in the bank. He applied in Europe, and it probably depends a lot on the embassy and the overall "strength" of the profile though (nationality, income, etc.).

I know that the folks at HCMC answer e-mails. Maybe you can try to ask Hanoi by e-mail. If they don't answer, give HCMC a try.

I think the OP's question is legitimate. Out of the 3 examples you've given, one does not say anything about the bank deposit for dependents. The 2 other applicants got their visa, but they had 500K per applicant, even in the case of children. Whilst it proves that one can be successful if they have 500K per dependent, it does not necessarily mean that 500K per dependent are needed at this embassy.

correct βœ….

The original DTV holder can sponsor each family member by showing ONLY the 500,000 Thai baht or equivalent currency in their bank account that they used to obtain the DTV visa. (This is how it's supposed to happen.. but variations have been reported by various Thai Embassy's and Consulates.

Hopefully others can provide helpful information or experiences.

I think it's one the most outstanding grey areas in the whole DTV thing. We'll probably never get a definite answer. While I would find it legitimate to ask for 500K for each adult dependent, doing the same for children seems a bit over the top. There are not a lot of people who are OK with letting sit say 2 millions THB in a bank account for 3-6 months. There are much better ways to manage savings.

Thank you James, I’ve searched but haven’t found anything that relates to having multiple dependents and how much I would need in my account πŸ™πŸΌ
