What are the requirements for applying for a DTV visa as a family in Thailand?
Does anyone have experience with applying for the DTV as a family?
I am interested to find out whether it's enough to have 500k in a bank account or if it has to be 500k per person.
If it has to be 500k per person, is it possible to use agents to circumvent this requirement? I am not keen on liquidating investments just for a visa application.
We would probably apply at the Thai embassy in Jakarta.

Answer summary
The inquiry focuses on applying for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Thailand as a family, specifically questioning whether the requirement of 500,000 THB needs to be met per person or if it can be a combined amount for the family. Several comments provide insights, suggesting that it appears to be 500,000 THB per person, although the possibility of using a sponsor is discussed. Agents for circumventing this requirement and acceptable documentation, such as proof of parentage for children, are also covered, indicating that recent experiences of transitioning through the DTV application process were shared by others.

When submitting my wife's DTV, I submitted a time deposit certificate in her personal name. If your child applies, just submit your or your wife’s savings. Proof of parentage between the child and you must be provided. We have obtained the visa.

does each individual have to apply separately as my husband is logging in and it’s only allowing for his info so do we have to create a visa online account for my daughter as well?Xiang *******

After your husband's application is approved, when you and your children apply, select the option for your spouse or child under 20 years old. There is an option to upload your husband's DTV visa. You need proof of account balance in your name, not your children.Cheryl **********

thank you

You print account statements for each adult but of course you can just as well transfer these $$$ from Account A to B to C and generate individual statements from your accounts.

Do you need 500k for kids too? Or only for yourself and your partner? And can your business be a sponsor? We have that money on a business savings account, but I can not/don’t want to show it 4x on my private checking account for at least 1-3 months.

it is 500K per person. You can use a sponsor if you do not have the funds to hand. There are posts of families getting the DTV.

Thanks! I have not seen any posts of people successfully getting the DTV with a sponsorship letter myself.Andi ***********
Anonymous participant Sponsor as in someone else providing the 500K requirement for yourself and family. It is written in the DTV application a sponsor can be used for the 500kTHB.

You mean agents depositing the money as they do for retirement visa for a fee? The problem doing this with DTV is location. When they do it in Thailand for Retirement it is deposited, the bank issues a letter and it is withdrawn. The person is there at the bank with the agent. Without going into more details there is also a 3rd party involved. For the DTV it would be much more complex and would need involvement in location DTV is being granted.!!!!

@Greg *******
there are a couple agents doing it, full fee is close to 100,000 per personGreg ********

Wow - I got an offer from an agent at 65K but they did not provide the money. I would assume the agents open bank account in the applicants name in Thailand - the applicant gets no access to the money!Activity
