DTV 90-day renewal for dependents?

Hi there, I am the primary DTV holder, and my wife and daughter are my dependent DTV holders. We entered the Kingdom in August 29 which makes our 90-day check-in due next week.

However, I left for a 1-week work trip last month and arrived back in Thailand on October 27. They stayed in Thailand.

Do I still have to process my wife and daughter's 90-day check-in, and if yes — does it have to be in person? Thank you kap 🙏🏼

Does a marriage certificate need to be notarized for the dependent DTV?

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone,

My spouse holds a DTV, and I’ll be applying as a dependent. My question is: If I stay in Thailand under the dependent visa, can I continue working remotely for an employer outside Thailand (with no Thai clients, no Thai-based income, no Thai employment or business operations)? Thanks in advance for any insights or official/lived references/anecdotes you may have.

Pending approval 11/11

We are uk family of 6 4 kids ages 19-15-9-6 years have a business online & relevant funds my question is when we apply for the dtv do we apply as a family or do we have to apply individual and do each individual person need 500.000 tbh in there own names or is it a different amount for a family im wondering do I have to put £12000 in each of my kids banks for a 3 month period to apply as we don’t plan on moving there until April due to work commitments here so have time before sending in the applications??

Has anyone been successful obtaining the DTV with a sponsorship letter, and financial statements from a relative?



I am a Canadian citizen and I want to start getting a DTV Visa. What do you think is the best source of accurate information in organizing this for myself. I have been in Thailand for six months now on two Visa exemptions with their extensions. I am gonna be leaving for a little bit and I guess I will be in Argentina and Vancouver Canada. Are there any particular places that are best to apply from? I don’t really know anything about it yet so I’m really just looking for a good source of information. Thank you. Also, my partner and I have two children, age 2 and 11. Do they need a visa because in general, I noticed that people do not worry about getting the children visas as long as they stay in the country and are below the age of 16.

Also next year I qualify for a retirement visa. Are the children covered under that and which age are they covered under that? And do you have to be officially married in order to get your spouse of Visa as well? Or does Thailand recognize common law marriage in some form?

Thank you so much.

Hi all,

My wife and I are planning to base ourselves in Thailand for the next 2–3 years and (fingers crossed) start our family there. I’m a remote employee for a U.S. company and my wife freelances. A few questions on the DTV process:

1) For the 500,000 THB financial requirement, will bank statements from investment/brokerage accounts be accepted, or do they need to be from a cash/checking/savings account? We have sufficient funds, but one account dipped below 500k recently due to an investment.

2) I’ve seen people mention an employer letter confirming permission to work remotely from Thailand. Is this actually required, and what wording do they expect?

3) I’ve also read that some consulates ask for recent payslips. My wife’s income varies as a freelancer. Because of Trump's shenanigans, lots of business (her clients) put a pause the last six months so he income has been very low to 0. Things are finally kicking in back into gear and she is signing up a few clients, but they won't likely start right before we apply for the DTV visa. Would this be a problem for her application even though we cover the minimum $ requirement? Would you recommend to have her as a dependent, rather than apply for her separate visa?

4) If we apply for her as a dependent, does that mean I have to first get my DTV visa approved and then apply for her as a dependent? Is there a way to do it simulatenously?

Hello, I urgently need your help. Has anyone here ever applied for a DTV (Domestic Tourist Visa) 180 Day for Thailand in Laos that also includes a spouse? We're currently living in Hua Hin on tourist visas but want to stay longer with our children. If so, what documents do we need? My wife and I are married in Germany. We're unsure which documents we need to have certified. Thank you so much, Katrin

“Financial Evidence” for dependents

Hello, I already have a DTV but wanted to apply for my wife + daughter & wanted to understand the “Financial Evidence”.

Is it sufficient to write a “sponsor letter” stating I’ll be covering it cost & attach a bank statement showing that I’ve had 500,000 THB for the past 3 months or is the requirement going to be 1,500,000 THB (3 x 500,000)?
