Question: what documents are required (other than the 400K in the bank) to get a spousal visa? Any specific process or "unusual" things to expect?

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?

Hello,

I got my DTV VISA approved and i would like to add my husband and children.

How can i do that? Do i have to use my Account at the embassy Page or do they have to Create own accounts?

Can they applay all together?

Thank you for your help

Hey Everyone!

My wife and I are both freelance online teachers and are considering applying for the DTV Visa in the Workcation category. However, we can’t find accurate information regarding applying separately for the Workcation visa vs having one of us apply for that type and the other apply for the spousal visa.

Does anyone know if you are legally allowed to work (online, not in Thailand) if approved for the spousal visa? I searched the group first, but haven’t seen anything.

Thank you. 🙏

Hello, I am currently in BKK on a visa exempt 60 day stamp.

My partner is going to Turkey at the end of the month and applying for DTV.

Before he leaves we were thinking of eloping here in Thailand (we’ve been together for quite some time, but for visa reason eloping would be necessary since I don’t meet the monetary savings minimum on my own). I was considering staying back in Thailand for the week or so he’s in Turkey, he’s planing on applying for DTV while he’s there. He’s a fully remote work from anywhere employee, I don’t see him having issue getting DTV.

Ideally I’d then get DTV by being his spouse.

Would this work since we’d only be married in Thailand for about a month?

Would I then need to leave Thailand myself to apply for spousal DTV?

I got approved for DTV from Tel Aviv, now we’re back in thailand and want to submit for my spouse. If we go to Laos, Vientiane, i see they require an interview, is this also for the spouse and children followers ?
