Hi everyone,

I have a question about applying for a DTV as a dependent family member.

My wife already has a valid Thailand DTV visa. I will be applying as her spouse, and our two children will also apply as dependents.

The issue is the financial requirement. I understand that the DTV requires proof of at least 500,000 THB, but I cannot keep this amount untouched in my account for 3 months.

I have a personal business (sole proprietorship) in my name, and my business bank account currently has around 700,000–800,000 THB. However, the account is actively used for business transactions, so the balance naturally goes up and down.

Has anyone successfully applied for a DTV as a spouse/dependent of an existing DTV holder in a similar situation?

Specifically:

* Was a 3-month bank balance history required?

* Was an actively used business/sole-proprietorship bank account accepted as financial proof?

* For the spouse + two children, did you have to show 500,000 THB per person, or was the family's financial evidence considered together?

Thank you!
Answer summary
The inquiry centers on applying for a Dependent T- Visa (DTV) in Thailand as the spouse and parent of existing visa holders. The user is particularly concerned about the financial requirements, notably the stipulation of a minimum of 500,000 THB, and whether an actively used business bank account can serve as proof. Comments suggest that most embassies prefer funds to be in personal accounts, with some variability based on the specific embassy regarding the required amount for dependents.

3 months depends on where you apply and must be in your personal account. However seeing as you run a business, I assume remotely, you shouldn't be applying as a dependant but should apply under the Workation option otherwise you will be working illegally from Thailand.

Most embassies will require the funds to be in a personal savings or checking account. Not a business account. Also, the amount depends on embassy too. Most will require funds for the spouse, but it varies by embassy for the children
