Has anyone applied for the DTV Visa as a family? We are hoping to apply as a family of 5 in November and are wondering about the process. Can we all apply online at the same time? My husband would apply with myself and our three kids as dependents. Or does my husband have to apply first and get approved and then we can apply as dependents? Is proof of funds needed per person or just one total for the whole family?

TLDR : Answer Summary
This post discusses applying for the DTV Visa as a family of five, with questions about the application process for dependents, whether to apply simultaneously or sequentially, and the requirements for proof of funds. Responses suggest confirming requirements with the relevant embassy, noting that each applicant may need to show funds, and that the primary visa holder's application typically needs to be approved before dependents can apply.

You need to be approved for the visa before you can apply for the dependants

At least in the e-visa system, they require the primary DTV visa holder’s visa to be submitted in order to apply for dependents. The specific funds required seems to be different embassy to embassy

Does it just need to be submitted before or approved before we can apply?

approved first. You have to attach the actual visa to the application for dependents

If you each apply you may be required to show 500k baht each

You need to put these questions to the Embassy that you will be applying through as they have different requirements
