Hi everyone!

Has anyone had experience with this?

Would it be okay if I apply for a visa now and my husband applies as my dependent after we get married?

Can anyone confirm if when applying from Hanoi if I would need 500k per dependent in my account? I am planning to get dtv and then my wife and 2 kids would be my dependents 🙏🏼

I’m English and my wife is Polish, I’m already in Thailand on Non O retirement visa and building a home ready to move my wife and dogs once completed.

My wife has Polish and soon UK passport and turns 50 on September the 1st.

I have Thai bank account and she doesn’t.

With new banking regulations I see the only way for us to get the bank account open is to apply for 90 day Non O in the UK, I assume once she’s turned 50 or could we do it before? Then open her a bank account once she’s here, deposit the 800,000 and apply for the extension after 2 months?

Sorry if any of my terminology is incorrect.

Has anyone got any tips/advice applying for soft power DTV in Dubai and applying for dependants 12 yrs old and 18yrs .

My wife is a student at Bangkok International University. She has a non-immigrant ED Plus visa. From what I've read online, that should make me, her husband, eligible for a Non-Immigrant "O" (Dependent) visa. I asked the university but they weren't helpful and said I should check with Pathumthani Immigration Office to get details. I've called, but I only ever get Thai speakers, and emails and messages to them have remained unanswered. Can someone confirm if this is indeed possible, and perhaps kindly point me to where I can find the application steps and requirements?

Side question: I've scanned the boards here and see that proof of money in a bank account needs to STAY in the account for 2 months before it can be proof of financial stability, is that also true for this case? Thanks for any help.

My DTV was approved in 12 days.

Wife is going as my dependent and they said to apply for her after mine has been approved.

That's been almost a month now and still no reply.

Anyone else experience this?

JAKARTA DTV Success Softpower Muay Thai.

This is for myself and my son.

Main applicant:

May 18th - arrived in Jakarta, submitted mine

about 9pm. Status maintained at

pending document check the whole

time.

May 27th - status changed to pending approval

around 5pm, then APPROVED and

visa received an hour later!

My dependent:

May 27th - applied as soon as I got mine

approved. Submitted 8pm. Again,

stayed at pending document check

all through.

June 9th - status changed to pending approval

around 5pm, and APPROVED by 8pm!

Just in time for our flights the next day 😍

There were 2 holidays during my dependent’s submission. All in all, they are consistent in their timeframe of 7 working days for both our applications.

Documents provided:

Proof of location

-Boarding pass

-Flight booking

-Hotel booking for initial 5 days

-Stay permit from the autogates

-a selfie of myself in front of our hotel

Financial proof

- a cover letter explaining very briefly what I provided

- latest conversion rates from google, bangkok bank and wise

- highlighted screenshot of current balance and amount of 500k for the past 2 months. I provided 3 months of full bank statements

Muay Thai documents

- a cover letter stating my intention to apply via the softpower route

- a complete visa documentation package from Muay Thai Fever. It is a 6-month course.

For my son (dependent), I used the exact same financial documents with a sponsorship letter from me, his proof of location and his birth certificate translated to English.

I did call up the embassy a couple of times to check on our applications as the status remained unchanged. They were very friendly and assured me I will get updates soonest they can. They process everything by the date of submission.

HUGE thanks to everyone in this group especially Andi Traveller 🙏🏼

The waiting is hard, so we’re all very fortunate to have this group to keep us in the loop and entertained too! Good luck everyone!!

Hello everyone, I'm just curious about the "soft" Muay Thai DTV visa... if my wife were to obtain this visa, is it possible for me to apply to be a dependent on her visa? Or can you only be a dependent for the other types of DTV visas? Thanks for any info!

Does anybody know usually how long does it take after your status changes from “pending document check” to “pending approval” that you receive your actual approved visa?

Hello,

My husband and are are planning a move to Thailand. We plan on spending 5-6 months in a row in the country each year.

We are US citizens

We make 2,000 a month (social security)

We have 210K USD in savings

My husband is 69 years old

I am 39 yrs old.

We currently live in France.

We are planning on purchasing a rental property that will increase our income to 4,000 USD per month.

Can we get a DTV as retired people?
