Answer summary
When applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand as a married couple, it's essential to understand how bank account status may impact your application. A joint bank account may be allowed, but ensure you have sufficient funds for both applicants—typically around 500,000 Baht each, totaling 1 million Baht. Some users suggested that joint accounts could be perceived as shared 50/50, hence half of the balance would count towards each individual's requirement. Additionally, presenting a marriage certificate and showing dependent status may be necessary for the Non-O family visa. Each applicant can go through the application process; the working spouse should apply first, followed by the dependent spouse.

Joint accounts are often viewed as being shared

between the named holders so only half the money in the account is seen as yours. That means for you to apply you may need the equivalent 1m baht in the account.

I am a married couple currently applying for DTV with a joint account. You 100% need 500k baht EACH in that account. You for sure can use a joint account if both of your names are on it. If that is just a savings account and not the account you do your daily spending on, they will ask for that account too.
The person who has a job, if you're applying for workcation DTV, will need to apply first, then the spouse dependent applies next. Let me know if you have any questions 😊

We applied from the US and we needed 30k total in the account minimum for 3 months. 15k for each applicant. The account was only in my name so I don’t know if joint accounts are ok or not. My wife also does not work and I do we are on the workcation category. I applied first and then added her as a dependent. We had to pay two application fees and waited about 10 days each for approval.

The USA Thai Embassy and Consulates now requires US $16,000 not $15,000.

There is an option non-o family visa using marriage certificate - if one of the you gets a DTV the family can accompany on a 90 day visa or visa exempt and apply for non-o family visa in thailand. Will need marriage certificate and other documents to show dependant status - children over 20 do not qualify for this

That is for a foreigner with Thai children and or wife. Requires 400k. Its nothing.g to do with the DTV or elite.

Once more as you seem incapable of understanding English. The visa a dependent of a DTV holder is issued with is a DTV visa. They do NOT get an "O". Now get back to your bottle or you will be having the DT's not DTVs.

I am pretty sure that Non-O Family visa is only available where the non-Thai has a Work Permit and the correct visa. Do you have a link stating where DTV family members can get a Non-O this way?
Andrew ********
@Greg *******
yes a DTV is not a non-o visa however it is used for study and remote working still - the dependant visa is for your immediate family to follow you to thailand with proof of birth cert and marriage certificates as the non-o dependant visa reads i honestly didnt think it could be used for DTV but I found out different when I asked - it seems im the only one in this group that actually consults a thai immigration lawyerAndrew ********

This covers work - study - retirement i found this out today in chiang mai ran into an older couple here in chiang mai the husband and wife are both 50 but the wife didnt meet the income requirements on her own - untill today I thoight the same thing

It is well known about a DTV dependent visa. The dependents get a DTV too. You stated an O visa as dependents on someone's DTV. I really do not think you are playing with the full deck. Stop consulting with the Leo and Chang.

It doesn't mention the DTV at all and the DTV is not a Non-O visa. Looks completely irrevelant to the question.
Greg ********
The Retirement Visa is an "O" and not a DTV. Where does it say a DTV holder is valid to support a Non-O applicant family visa?
