My husband got his DTV visa over 2 months ago and we have moved from Hong Kong to Thailand.

Yesterday I applied for my spousal DTV visa in Hong Kong, submitted all required documents and my personal bank statements for 6 months which exceeds 500,000Baht.

Within 4 hours of submission I was asked for my husband’s bank statements for the past 3 months, which is since he was approved for the DTV. With covering the coasts of an international move, shipping and flying our dogs over, his balance has dropped below the 500,000 Baht.

I’m hoping this won’t result in my application being rejected even though I have my own accounts with more than the required minimums for the both of us. Feeling worried 😟

Hi, I am just looking for clarification regarding the DTV spousal visa. Is it correct that as the spouse of a DTV you only need to show your husband's bank account with 500k baht and a letter from your husband stating that he is supporting you? Thank you for any assistance here.

Can I apply dependent visa immediately after my husband gets DTV visa approve.?

I am about to apply for DTV worcation visa and I will also apply for my wife as spouse. Can I apply for both at the same time or do I have to wait until mine is approved before applying for spouse visa?

Hello everyone,

My husband applied and got his DTV visa in Hong Kong last month and we have moved to Thailand, and are in Bangkok currently. He entered with his DTV while I entered on visa exemption 60 days and now getting ready to apply for my spousal DTV.

Does anyone know if I have to go back to Hong Kong to apply or can I go to a Thai embassy in any neighbouring country?

Thanks in advance

Spouse DTV Approved! 🎉

I’m sharing my experience to help others navigating the process:

My husband got his DTV in Taipei, and it only took him 2 days —super fast and easy!

Since I’m Vietnamese and needed a visa for Taiwan, I applied for the DTV in Ho Chi Minh City instead.

Tips for a smoother process:

- Consider a short beach vacation: If you’re applying at the HCM consulate, flying into Da Nang or Nha Trang is a great option for a relaxing break while waiting for your results.

- Double-check your uploads: When uploading my passport page, the name order changed. Make sure to fix any errors and always click save before moving to the next page.

My Timeline:

- 5/12: Submitted my application with the following documents:

+ ID card

+ Vietnam passport stamp

+ Husband's passport and DTV scan

+ Husband’s 3 months’ bank statements

+ Sponsorship letter

+ Marriage certificate

- 9/12: Received a request for 6 months’ bank statements.

- 10/12: Submitted additional documents:

+ Uploaded savings account statements (opened only 4 months ago) and highlighted the last 2 months’ balances (over 500,000).

+ Also submitted a 6-month checking account statement and highlighted the transfers to the savings account.

- 11/12 Morning: Pending Approval.

- 11/12 Evening: Visa Approved! 🎉

It actually took me only 3 working days to get approved, as 5/12 and 10/12 were Thai holidays, plus the weekend.

I hope this helps anyone going through the process. Wishing you the best of luck!

We, my (Thai) wife & I have been pursuing a Green Card, Spousal Visa legitimately for over 2 years now. We got our I-130 application formerly received in January,’24. She, meanwhile acquired a Visitor’s Visa for the USA that allows her to stay for up to 6 months for a 10 year period. She came to the USA for 2 months in ‘23 & again in ‘24 for 5 months. Having returned to Thailand November 1, ‘24 she is patiently waiting more, but wants to return to me soon.

Since USCIS says 14 months is the minimum time until her “interview “ she’s reluctant to return before March,’25. Can she do her interview here in the USA, thereby allowing her to return here(USA) in say, February or March? Tired of this red tape bureaucracy.

Hello,

Has anyone here applied for Spousal visa and got rejected. I'm quite nervous before applying as the fee is non-refundable, so I want to learn from other's experiences.

Thank you for sharing.

I have 2 questions:

Do I have to show the bank statement for the visa extension every year? Or only with the first application?

Is living in the same household enough to apply as "spouse"? Or do we have to be married?

Thank you! 🙏

Hi guys , Does anyone know about the iR1 spouse cases?

Once the i130 is approved

How long does it take to get the interview letter in Bangkok American embassy .kindly if anyone knows and could share this information I’ll be grateful 🙏🏽
