Hello, When applying for the Long Stay (O-A) visa, do you submit the spouse’s application directly after submitting the primary visa or wait until the primary is approved? Thanks in advance.

I already have the DTV (soft power), I’m planning to get married, can I add my partner to my visa as a spouse immediately?

Hey everyone, I recently applied for the dtv visa and I got approved. Now I need to apply for my spouse, my question is do I need to provide financial proof for her that she has 500,000 baht?

If yes, would my personal bank account work if I have 1m baht and I write a letter sponsoring her fully for any financial needs? Thanks

My husband, son, and I were APPROVED! Finally!

I want to thank everyone who shared their feedback and helped me get there.

I'll also share my case. I am available for your questions.

UPDATED POST WITH MY PROCESS FOR APPLICATION AND SPOUSAL APPLICATION

Hey everyone!

I have just reentered into BKK on my DTV (my second since getting it in February) and my husband has just entered on his, via being a spouse dependent on mine.

This was the quickest and easiest immigration entry I've ever done.

I can, if anyone wants to know, both processes for applying for a DTV, as myself and then for my husband.

Let me know in the comments.

If your husband could get a DTV visa with soft power for 6 months Muay Thai, what would you need for a spousal visa?

If you got a spousal visa again, please give me some advice☆

Thanks to everyone who has shared information in this group—it helped me resolve many issues during my application process. I also appreciate those who responded to my previous question here.

I applied for the DTV from Taipei, Taiwan. My first application was rejected due to a name error. On my second attempt, I was asked to provide additional documentation regarding my status as a freelancer, including a copy of my contract and proof of income/source of funds. I submitted the documents, and even though it was a Saturday night, I received my visa approval the following day.

After I was granted the DTV, my husband applied for his own DTV as the spouse of a DTV holder. According to the current rules, if your spouse has already obtained the DTV, you can apply for your own DTV based on that relationship. I submitted his application on May 7 around 11 AM, and he received his visa approval later that same day at around 6 PM.

For his application, I only submitted a bank statement under his name and a copy of my approved DTV visa. No other documents were requested. For his occupation, I selected “Retired.”

In my experience, the DTV application process is not particularly difficult or complicated. You just need to provide clear documentation that supports your identity and financial status.

Although many people online mention submitting detailed and extensive documents, I personally did not provide much, and nothing beyond what was specifically requested. I’m not sure if this is because I applied from Taiwan, but that was my experience.

I hope this helps others who are planning to apply for the DTV. Wishing you all a smooth application process.

Hello! I contacted the Vancouver consulate to get some questions answered about the DTV and they were fairly helpful but still didn't quite answer the question: do I need twice the 500k baht for me and my husband or just 500k for one? They said we can apply as a couple and one of us would need to submit a sponsorship letter because our bank is a joint account. Has anyone had to do that letter? Thanks!

How do you go about getting a DTV for a couple?

I know you need to be married but say my partner gets their DTV how do I get onto his as his spouse?

Or do I have to get my own?
