ORIGINAL POSTERJust found out I was approved for remote work DTV in Taipei!🎉
@I went on Wednesday and they asked for more documents (I needed my companies license with a government stamp@). Typhoon caused the consulate to be closed on Thursday so we came back to reapply today and it was very simple.
My fiancé applied with soft power and didn’t get approved as his medical papers from Bangkok Hospital we’re not “detailed enough”… even tho he had appointments 6 months out. They gave him a 90 day tourist visa that only cost 1200NTD so worse things could have happened. We are getting married anyways so we will do this and then I will apply with him as my dependent.
Does anyone know if you have to leave Thailand to add a dependent?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shared their experience of being approved for a remote work DTV in Taipei, while their fiancé faced challenges due to insufficient medical documentation, resulting in a tourist visa approval instead. The conversation reveals that to add dependents, one must apply outside Thailand and provide specific documents such as proof of marriage and financial stability. Participants highlighted recent tightening of DTV approvals in Taipei and discussed document requirements for the application.

Yes, he would have to apply for the visa outside of Thailand. Same process, but instead of showing medical appointments or remote work, he will need to show that he is married to you and that you have a DTV. Same requirements though regarding visa costs and having 500K in the bank.

so actually the officer confirmed for me that only the DTV holders bank statements are required!John *******
@Abbey *****
- When your husband applies, he is applying for a DTV, so he would be the DTV holder.Abbey ******
ORIGINAL POSTER@John ******
he would be applying as a dependent to my DTVJohn *******
As you can see in the image, there are three routes (digital nomad, soft power, and being related to someone else with a DTV. These are all listed under #5 purpose of the visit, but required documents 1-4 are required by all regardless of purpose of trip. So everyone has to supply 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (5 depending on the mode you are apply via)
