Help please. I've applied for a Non-O visa while in Australia with the plan to convert to a retirement visa with the banked money method. Does my wife apply for the same type visa then apply as a dependent to me in the Thai retirement visa application process? Many thanks in advance for clarification.

Hello all!

I have a small predicament. My family is moving to Bangkok in may/June and while my husband will be getting a DTV, I’m not sure what I should do. We have a couple kids with us so this is where it gets complicated. While I know we can attach to the DTV as dependents, I’m in university for a TESL degree and need to start an internship in August. If I’m correct, I believe I can’t be on the DTV if I’m also on an education visa for my internship. But… my husband has to fly back to the states in July alone so the kids (who will be on his DTV) will be left with me in BKK. Curious how we should work this… would it be more beneficial to hold off on applying for the DTV until after he gets done in the states (it’s only a 2 week trip), and just hang out on visa exempt for a couple months??

I'm applying for a DTV visa , and have a dependent. When I apply for my daughter's application, do I need to show financial proof of 500k for her application? Or just proof that she is a dependent (birth certificate).

Any advice is helpful in regards to having a dependent on a DTV visa~ thanks so much!

Hi

Trying to obtain the Non O dependent visa as my husband has a valid workpermit and VISA.

Everytime the officer gets our papers he wants more documents or stamps. By now all documents are stamped for verification by German embassy in BKK.

No we need another stamp from ministry of foreign affairs 😵‍💫 on the same documents 😒

Did anyone get this stamp ? Does it mean another trip to Bkk or can it be done by mail ? Any insights 😏 ???

My child and I applied DTV dependent on 12th Jan 2024 (Sunday) and changed to pending approval status today afternoon 13th Jan 2024 .

How long does it usually take to get approval email based on your experiences ?

I heard sometime ago that if you had a child of Thai nationality and your name is on the birth certificate there is a visa which allows you to stay as a parent in Thailand once the child leaves education and starts work and supports a parent living in Thailand aged over 65 ?

I have currently a Non O visa with funds tied up in my bank account and would like the option of withdrawing the money and investing elsewhere

Anyone shine a light on this type of visa ?

Hi! Has anyone successfully added their parent as a dependent to their DTV? Looking for advice and tips. FWIW, I got my DTV from the Thai embassy in Los Angeles.

How long do you have to be married to apply for a DVT to include your spouse? TIA

Can your kids stay based on your retirement visa? Actually, it'll be the 3 month pre-retirement non-immi visa for now. I'm aware they cannot overstay in principle but would prefer to avoid that. A 5-year old.

Does my spouse have to have 500k in an account of their own? All of our accounts are joint. Can I submit the same proof for both of us? What about our son? He's under 8. We have an investment account for him but it's not in his name because he's a minor.
