Another DTV data point with a twist.  Wife and I (both Canadians) already had non-o retirement visas recently approved from the Vancouver consulate.  Called the Vancouver consulate about switching to the DTV.  They said if we submit and get approved for DTV's they will cancel our Non-O's.  If we aren't approved we can still use the Non-O's.  So I just submitted my DTV application 2 hours ago and was just approved!  Super fast.  My wife and I own a Canadian SW development corp and so I submitted my certificate of incorporation, provincial tax return, federal statement of income and balance sheet, along with a letter on my business letterhead stating as an employee of the corp I can work remotely from Thailand.  Wife just submitted hers as a dependent.  Awesome!  EDIT:  And 2 days later, wife received her DTV as a dependent on mine.  :)

Answer summary

A Canadian couple successfully transitioned from Non-O retirement visas to DTV visas after consulting with the Vancouver consulate. They provided necessary documents, including corporate paperwork and a statement about remote work. The wife was later approved as a dependent on the husband's DTV. Others inquired about the financial requirements for dependents and emphasized checking local consulate guidelines.

Did you all have to have more than the 500,000 bhat to have her as a dependent? We are trying to figure out exactly how much we need or if it's per household?

We have a joint account and it shows more than 2 x $20K CAD so she should meet the financial requirement.

, do you apply for your visa through Vancouver too? Unless you use the same consulate, you have to check the exact embassy/consulate you are using for their requirements.

Thanks for your helpful information. It's good to know.

Members... this is for CANADA...

CHECK with your Thai Embassy or Consulate for their DVT visa requirements and assistance.

not for Canada. For Vancouver. Ottawa is likely less accommodating.

obviously varies from Thai Embassy or Consulate. And with this New Visa, how are you sure that your Thai Consulate is not in sync with others? No reply needed
