ORIGINAL POSTER

We are about to apply for dependent visas for our children from my DTV visa. They have 1 year and 2 weeks in their passports. Is the required 1 year on a passport taken from when the embassy approves a visa or from when you arrive in the country and your passport is stamped with the visa? Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for dependent visas for children from a DTV visa, the key concern is the validity of the children's passports. Specifically, the requirement is typically for the passport to be valid for at least one year. This validity is often measured from the time of submission of the visa application to the embassy, rather than from when you arrive in Thailand or the visa is stamped. It is advisable to check the specific requirements on the embassy's website to ensure compliance with the latest regulations.
