So a family applying for the DTV visa if both parents work remotly and married is it better to get two main DVT and a child dependent or one DVT with a spouse and child dependent visas. Do all applicants need access to the 500,000 THB in both cases or would we just need 500,000 THB between the three of us making it better to apply for the latter.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A family is pondering whether to apply for two main DTV visas with a dependent child or one main DTV visa for a parent along with spouse and child dependent visas, considering the financial requirement of having access to 500,000 THB. Some comments suggest consulting with an embassy for accurate information as the requirements can vary. Another suggestion emphasizes opting for educational routes for children to secure Non-O Guardian and Non-O ED visas, noting that if opting for DTV, each applicant may need to meet the 500,000 THB requirement individually.

The best of all is study for children, send them to school, then get Non-O Guardian based on the study, in the meantime you can also get Non-O ED for yourselves

But if you want to do the DTV then 500,000 for each applicant

Study for minors for example in Hua Hin can be as low as 5,000 per year per child

they are not school age yet. Does the child's and spouse have to be in their own bank account or can one family bank account have 1500,000 for all or at least 1000,000 for the parent and child. We don't want move money as say 3 months.

each applicant in each name. Check with your embassy if you have a double-name bank account and if they would accept. If it’s in a spouse name, then the second person needs to move money to their bank otherwise can only be dependant and not get own DTV, but it varies from embassy to embassy so vetting info in a group is pointless, please check with your embassy.

Ask the Embassy in the country you will be applying from as the answer can differ

You should maybe edit your comment. It's a bit hard to understand. 🤔
