What are the financial requirements for obtaining a DTV visa for a family in Thailand?
Hi everyone,
we're flying to Thailand on July 17, and after researching different visa options, I feel that the DTV visa is the most suitable and future-proof solution for me and my family.
I have two questions regarding the financial requirement (500,000 THB / approx. €12,500):
1. Is it sufficient to have the money in the account at the time of application, even if it hasn’t been there for the full three months? I do have access to the required funds, but they’ve been held in other forms of investment (not in my current bank account). The money could be transferred to the account temporarily if needed, so the funds are available.
2. Do I need to show 500,000 THB per person, meaning a total of 2 million THB (~€50,000) for our family of four? Or is one combined proof of funds for the family sufficient and how much should it be?
Anyone with up-to-date info or experience would be a huge help,
thanks in advance!!
P.S. The application for the DTV is processed through the Thai Embassy in Frankfurt. My wife, my two children, and I are all German passport holders.

Depending on the age of the children they will likely want to see at least a million baht for you and your wife.

replied to this question..."That is almost 100% up to the consulate, and there is no real answer to that question without calling the consulate you're applying at and asking them
Several people said the consulate they applied at they did have to show proof of funds for spouse/children,
BUT
Several people said at the consulate they applied at only the primary DTV holder needed proof of funds not spouse/children"

this is the requirement..No, family members of a DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) holder do not need to individually demonstrate 500,000 Thai baht in their bank accounts. The 500,000 THB requirement is for the main DTV visa holder, not for dependents.
Dependents of a DTV Visa holder:
Spouse: A legal spouse of the DTV holder can be a dependent.
Children: Legally recognized dependent children under 20 years old and unmarried can also be dependents.
Financial Requirements for DTV Visa Holder:
The primary DTV visa applicant must demonstrate they have at least 500,000 THB (or the international equivalent) in liquid assets.
This can be shown through bank statements, payslips, or other financial documents.
While the government requires a minimum of 500,000 THB, it's advisable for families to have more for comfortable living.

Are you going to live in Thailand if not just holiday do visa exempt 60 days plus 30 day extension easy
Adalbert **********
OP@David *******
We would like to stay for up to a year and do not want to make frequent trips to neighboring countries. There is also no guarantee that the 60-day stay will remain unchanged. If, during our trip, the allowed stay is reduced to only 30 days plus a 30-day extension, it will be difficult for us to reach a total stay of 10 to 12 months.Additionally, we believe that the DTV visa is a fantastic opportunity, not only for our current plans but also for future stays in Thailand. We have been visiting Thailand every year for the past 12 years, and this visa would make it much easier for us to continue enjoying this wonderful country.

easy choice good luck

to be honest bro, just keep the 500,000 baht in your account until you arrive, and get all the bank statments ready 2 to 3 months in advance, you should be good then and if you keep the cash in until you arrrive in bangkok/thailans
Yasmin ***********
The embassy in frankfurt should have a list with requirements. Not all embassies ask the same.
Adalbert **********
OP@Yasmin **********
They have a list, and it says unser 4. Financial evidence "..., e.g. account statement for three months,..." For example, does not necessarily mean that the three months are mandatory, and it could refer to a bank statement, but possibly also to other types of customer accounts. That is what makes me think that it might actually work after all.
