Planning to get a DTV to learn Thai cooking and Muay Thai - I am in UK, British passport and then planning on getting spouse and 2xchildren in under my visa….am getting mixed answers regarding how much will need to show in savings. Some say only DTV applicant need £11k but others saying it’s per person (even though they’ll be dependents) - can anyone confirm either way?

Answer summary

The user is seeking clarification on the financial requirements for obtaining a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand while including family members (spouse and two children) as dependents. There are conflicting answers regarding the savings requirement, with some suggesting it is £11,000 for the main applicant only, and others stating that a higher amount per dependent may be necessary. Community responses indicate that while one person successfully applied with just the amount required for the main applicant, others believe requirements could be stricter.

The 500K is also a requirement for a dependant, but some embassies don't check obviously.

Anonymous participant 490 I worked and lived in Thailand previously and we have travelled there extensively so have done our research. It’s five years as long as you leave every 180 days which is more than do-able. And five years suits us as children want to get working visa to Australia after that. I’m sure everyone does their research and have their own plans but don’t necessarily go into every detail when asking a quick question on here!

@Craig *******

It is not 5 years, it is 180 days stay, when it was meant to immigrato in Thailand there would be no obligation to leave.

Of course you can at the moment trick the system because they don't limit the 180 stays like many other countries do.
