I have a question regarding the visa application process. As the spouse of a Veteran who receives disability benefits, which serve as our primary source of income, I am unsure about the application procedure. Will my husband be able to include our children and me under his visa, or do I need to submit a separate application? If so, should I attach his benefit checks as proof of income?

Also is it true it is better to fill out the application two weeks after you land in Thailand?.. We’re planning our move in October.

Thank you in advance

Hello! I got the Visa just this noon. I plan to apply it for my spouse, dependent DTV in Vientiane. Could his job type (unemployed or others) affect the application and approval process?

On the second page they ask for occupation. Do I just enter the same info like I did for my appliu(main DTV holder)?

I’m a bit confused 🙃

Thank you so much for your support 🙏

If my wife doesn't work, can I sponsor her on my dtv visa.

Request for advice: My wife (50+) and I (49, just turned) are US citizens and want to come to Thailand (Hua Hin) and stay for extended medical treatment and retirement after. I am confused about the best visa choice out of our consulate (Los Angeles, USA) and asking for advice and suggestions.

The Non-Immigrant Type “O” Medical Treatment visa for me with her a dependent seems like it would work well, but then I had another idea…

Instead of dealing with medical appointment letters, can my wife apply for a Non-O Retirement visa and have me as a dependent? One extension gets me to 50, opening up other possibilities (extend again, do two Non-O Retirement visas, other visa options like LTR, etc).

We have no issue with her showing an 800k baht bank balance here, and will transfer that to a Thai bank and then follow up with 65k baht into it each month to eliminate having to maintain a balance later.

My questions:

Is this a good plan, or would you recommend a different route?

The dependent visa is technically the “Non-Immigrant Visa Type O, To stay with non-Thai family residing in Thailand (more than 60 days)”, right?

Do we apply for the dependent visa right after the retirement visa, or do we have to wait for the retirement visa to be approved then apply for the dependent one?

Thanks to this entire group, learned a lot searching and reading here and really appreciate the help!

I hear from different sources different information on the visa regulations for kids in Thailand.

Any experiences on kids under 3? Is it necessary to apply for a dtv visa for my 1,5 year old or not? Thanks for sharing experiences! 🙏🙏

Hello all, my wife and i are planning to move to phuket. She will work from home for an american hospital. I will not work as we will also have an income from 2 rental properties. Our plan is she gets the remote worker visa and that says it applies to spouse and kids. Do we need to show a bank balance of $30k or something first to be approved? Thanks in advance!

Has anyone here applied for a long-term visa as a dependent (spouse)? I need clarification regarding the process of submitting the Marriage Certificate. Is it really required to go to Thai Embassy and DCA here in the Philippines? Thanks so much.

Hi! Has anyone enrolled their follower kids in an international school? I’ve been told that my kids need a student visa, even though they are my followers on the DTV visa.
