Does a couple has to show seperate minimum 500,000 THB bank statements for DTV ? Or

Or the wife being dependent can show husbands bank statement along with proof of marriage etc

Also, If she can show husband statement, Would it need to be 500,000 THB + or 100,000 THB +

Anyone who has gone through a similar situation, As currently i have more than 500,000THB but not my wife.

Thanks in advance

Curious, has anyone applied for the DTV with a family?

Parent 1- DTV

Parent 2-Dependent

Child 1-Dependent

Child 2-Dependent

I know you’re able to go this route, according to the Thai evisa website, but I’m wondering if there is anyone who’s successfully done so within this group?

Could you comment or message if you have, please? I have some questions. ☺️

I’ve just been searching advice at an agent here in Thailand. She told me there is no need to add/apply kids under 14 yo on/for DTV (as dependents) Any thoughts on that ..?

I’m an American citizen will be applying for my DTV Visa here in Cambodia. My question is is a statement or a letter from the bank showing my current balance would that be significant enough for the application? Also, how does it work if you’re married and have kids

Hello, I plan on applying for DTV visa with my LLC.

What kind of requirements will I run into with bringing my dependents. Do me and my spouse need to be married? any financial requirements for them ?

And also I wish to bring a female employee with us. Can I bring her as well and what would the requirements be? Thanks

Hello !

Can I ask you the experts a question about the financial statement for a Non-OX immigration visa that my wife and I are applying?

When I called the Thai immigration office, we were told that as long as I have 3 miillion THB in my bank account, my wife as my dependent does not need to have another 3 million THB in her bank account.

Now for the application, I have my financial statement ready, but does she also need to submit another copy of the same financial statement?

I'm trying to decide between the digital nomad option and the Soft Power option (Muay Thai). I have a wife and 2 kids (4 and under) that I hope can be dependents on my DTV. We do intend to stay in Thailand for most of the 5 years (while complying with the 180 day requirement) as we will be receiving financial support to do volunteer work.

I hope to try and get our application right the first time and thus I have concerns about both options:

Digital Nomad - I have solid proof of income from working as a mental health therapist with various firms but I will be working minimally with these firms if we were in Thailand because of our transition to volunteer work and time zone differences. If we did get approved for this option, would I have to show that I've earned income from these firms while re-entering Thailand on the DTV?

Muay Thai - I have no problem attending classes for years if we get approved for this option. My concern is whether my wife and kids will be approved as dependents since Im assuming most people pursuing this option are single men.

Any feedback/clarity you can give will be appreciated!

For the LTR visa, anyone know for certain whether the financial requirements only applies to the main applicant and NOT the dependent. For example, with the Wealthy Global Citizen's 1 million+ USD total asset (including at least 500k USD investment in Thailand). Does it mean if I am the main applicant and my wife is my dependent, we just need 1 million total, and NOT 2 million, is this correct?

Hi everyone,

My family and I (my wife and our two kids) are planning to move to Thailand for an undetermined period, in about two years. I just wanted to run my plan by you and get some feedback to see if it makes sense.

I own a company back home in Canada, which provides me with a regular salary. I'm considering applying for the DTV visa — would this be a suitable option in my case? Also, would my family be able to join me under this visa? If needed, I could also put my wife on the company payroll.

Lastly, would our kids be able to attend school while we're in Thailand?

Thanks a lot for your help!
