ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi everyone, has anyone applied for a DTV from California with a spouse and 2 children? I cannot find solid information regarding how much we need to have in our bank account for the 4 of us. My 2 kids are under 10 years old.

I see a few articles and blogs saying we need to show proof we have 500,000 THB for the primary applicant - but I also see some articles stating we will need to show proof that we have 2,000,000 THB for the 4 of us. Eek.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is seeking clarification on the bank balance required for a DTV visa application for themselves, their spouse, and their two children under 10 years old. There is conflicting information regarding whether they need to show 500,000 THB for the primary applicant or 2,000,000 THB for the entire family. One commenter suggested that the required amount may vary depending on the embassy issuing the visa and recommended contacting the embassy directly for accurate information.

The amount you need is embassy specific. Contact the embassy you are applying from for the exact amount.
