Hi everyone!

I have a DTV visa as a remote worker, and my wife also received a DTV visa as my dependent. She also has her own remote business, but all of her clients are back home — none are in Thailand.

My question is: Is she legally allowed to continue working remotely from Thailand even though her DTV visa is issued as my dependent? And if immigration asks what she does here, can she openly say that she works remotely for clients outside of Thailand?

Thanks in advance for any advice or experience!

Hello I have a question and I hope you guys can enlighten me.

I’m currently in the process of getting my DTV (if approved) and I then would like to sponsor my wife and baby daughter. But I was told by many people that my 11 months old baby do not need a visa until she turns 2. I would just like to confirm whether that’s true, because if that’s the case I would only need to get my wife a dependent visa and I guess it’ll make the process even much easier. Thank you for the help.

I’m currently in Thailand on a DT visa, and my wife is here on a tourist visa. Can I apply for her DT visa on my behalf, or is there another way for her to get a long-term visa? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Sorry if I sound like an idiot, but I’ve already emailed the Los Angeles Thai consulate & the answer didn’t make sense to me. So here goes. My husband holds a Finnish passport, I have a US passport. We live in Hawaii (USA) He is a content creator & makes a living online. We are going to be applying online with him as the person applying, me & our 3 children as his dependents. My first question is: Which consulate will be overseeing my application process? Is it Los Angeles?

My second question is, whether our bank account situation will work… September had 35k, October dipped to 4k, November 49k, & December will be 50-100k… Would like to apply asap, like end of December or early January latest… Do you think they’ll deny because of October? Should I wait till early February to apply?

If they reject due to not having the bank account having enough funds for long enough, will we have to pay the whole 2k (5 people) again when we reapply?

Thank you for all your help!

Got DTV visa (Spouse / Dependent) approved in HCMC, Vietnam.

with Sponsor letter from wife (Main DTV-Visa Holder)

Timeline:

• DAY 1 (Tuesday) – submitted application

• DAY 2 (Wednesday) – pending approval

• DAY 9 (Wednesday) – visa approved ✅

My main DTV visa was approved and after the approval we submitted the dependent visa application for my husband. (same day)

I sponsored him, and these are the documents we provided in one PDF for the financial / sponsor proof:

- Sponsor letter

- Copy of my passport

- 3 months of bank statements (because a lot of people ask this in the group — I used the same 500,000 THB that I used for my own application, and he was also approved with it)

- Our international marriage certificate

No questions. No additional documents requested. Just one week of waiting at the pending approval stage.

⸻

Other submitted documents:

- Passport

- Photograph

- Copy of the main DTV visa

- Proof of location (flight booking confirmation, boarding pass, entry stamp, hotel reservation in Vietnam, photo with passport in front of the hotel)

- International marriage certificate (we added a separate page to the international marriage certificate with a short note that it is already translated into English and that English is the third language on the document. I saw in the group before that embassies sometimes miss this. So we added it just in case.)

Has anyone put the 500k baht in a joint savings pot and applied separately as a couple?

Hello,

I applied for DTV from Jakarta (we both are Pakistani national but hold 2 years indonesian residence permit), I want to know once the main applicant DTV is approved, how long will take it for dependent?

Also for dependent, would I have to upload my bank statement or some kind of a letter stating that she's a housewife and I'll be meeting her expenses?

Thanks.

Hi everyone! I am posting anonymously as my work situation is uncertain and I do not want to share it with colleagues and others who know me.

We are a family of 3 and I am currently on work visa while my partner and child are on dependent visa. We are looking at plan B options as we want to remain in Thailand for another year at the bare minimum. So, I am reaching out to you:

1) if anyone tried the Long-Term Resident Visa (as highly skilled professional) and could share your experience?

2) which visa options you tried in a similar situation.

Any advice would help at this point

Im currently in Thailand on a visa exemption on holiday and I want to apply for a DTV for remote working. My plan is to go to Vietnam to apply. I have a spouse and 2 kids. Do I need to get my DTV approved before I submit their applications? Does anyone have experience of this and any timeframes? 🙏

What are the requirements for a visa for a dependant of a retirement visa holder? (In case of recorded common law marriage in USA) anyone knows more about the procedure, how and from where to apply? Thanks!
