DTV Visa Dependent Visa Visa Application Process Thailand Visa Rules Jakarta Embassy Immigration Advice

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all, 

Ideally, my wife and I would apply for the DTV visa (me as primary, her as dependent) at the same time. However, my understanding is that I need to apply for the DTV visa first, then my wife can apply separately for a dependent visa once mine is approved. 

My question is: is there a waiting period between  my primary DTV visa being granted and when my wife can apply for the dependent visa? If so, how long? 

We will be applying through the Jakarta embassy. 

I haven’t been able to find this information online. Thank you 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary

The question pertains to the DTV visa application process, specifically whether there is a waiting period for a dependent visa application after the primary DTV visa has been granted. Responses indicate that there is no waiting period; the dependent application can be submitted immediately after the primary visa holder receives theirs.

You have to get yours first as you’ll need the visa number in order to submit hers. There is no time limit on how quickly you can apply after you have yours.
