Will my salary history affect my DTV visa application to Thailand?

The Thai Consulate I want to apply through requires 500,000THB for 3 months in my bank account. I actually got hired and received salary only 1 month before I want to arrive in Thailand. I have the required amount in my account now. Will I have trouble having my visa approved if my company has only paid me for a month?

Also- I have a spouse and children. Do I apply first for my DTV visa and then apply for my dependents AFTER I have been approved?
Answer summary
The applicant wonders if having a salary for only one month will hinder their DTV visa application, given that they meet the required 500,000 THB balance. Responses clarify that the key requirement is the bank balance for three months, not salary history. It's suggested to provide proof of employment, including a job letter and pay slip, and that they should apply for their DTV first before applying for dependents, who will also need proof of funds.

For DTV the five hundred thousand baht for three months rule is about bank balance not salary length.

If you have required amount now and can show three months bank statements where ending balance meets rule you can still apply. Salary only one month is ok if your job letter says you are hired remote and salary will continue. Consulate cares more that you have stable funds and remote job proof. Attach pay slip for one month plus job contract and bank proof. Add cover note explaining you started recently but funds are enough.

For spouse and children yes you apply first for your DTV and wait until approved. After you get visa you apply for each dependent separately with your DTV copy plus marriage and birth certificates. Each needs extra funds proof and separate application. Many families do same process and it works if papers are translated and certified.

For sample letter to explain short salary history and family DTV checklist you can read Unlock Thailand by Isla Rey on Amazon. It has templates for new hires and dependent applications that help get approval on first try.

Check your appropriate Embassy website for funds needed. You’re supposed to have the 500K THB for 3 months prior (Washington DC Embassy). Then you apply, get approved & can then apply for your family members. They also require extra funds from what I recall. Again, that should be on your Embassy’s website. Google which branch or Consulate you need to apply from. You can’t live in CA & apply through D.C. for example.

Good luck!

You need to check with the embassy if you need an additional 500,000 for each dependent when you apply for them after your application is approved.

There are two separate requirements 1 one requires you to have 500k in your account. Most embassies require it to be there for 3 months. Then separately you need a job snd proof of job is an income/ do you meet both? What do you mean by the embassy you “want” to apply through? You don’t get to really pick, so not about which one you want

Sounds like you can’t meet the requirements at the present moment

Sit back, relax and continue saving until you have the required ฿500k in the acct for right amount of time

Good luck
