Hello all,

I am applying for the DTV visa. I am a UK citizen. I want to add my wife and son as dependants. I am using the E-Visa service, online.

Do I need to apply for mine, individually, first.. and then add them separately?

It seems that is the case but I can't be sure. Any advice is appreciated

Any reports on DTV applications in Laos since they went online there? Considering Luang Prabang to apply for spouse/dependent DTVs as it is the easiest option to get to with our young baby. Also wondering how the payment system works as apparently online payment is not possible at present - would it be possible to get someone else to go and pay at the Thai embassy in Vientiane without physically going their ourselves? Any experience/info appreciated. Thanks

Hello everyone,

First of all, I’d like to say a huge THANK YOU to this group for all the amazing advice and support. It’s incredible to have such a helpful community when navigating something as complex as the DTV visa process! 😊

I have a few questions about my specific situation, and I’d really appreciate your insights:

1. About my work situation:

I’m a social media specialist, content creator, and graphic designer, and I’d like to work on my projects in Thailand with my family. I currently have two contracts with companies in Switzerland, providing me with a monthly salary, and I can work remotely from anywhere.

In addition, I own a Swiss-based LLC (Sàrl) and plan to develop an online e-commerce project next year.

• Do you think it’s better to include my two employment contracts in my DTV application, or should I draft a remote work contract with my own company? Which option would be more suitable?

2. About my family (partner and child):

My son is 3 years old, and I’d like to know how the DTV application process works for family members.

• Should I apply for their visas at the same time as mine, or should I wait until my own DTV is approved?

• I also have a question about the financial requirements for dependents: Does my child need to meet the 500,000 THB bank balance requirement individually, or is this amount simply added to my own financial proof or he don't need 500,000 THB ?

Your advice would mean the world to me! Thank you so much in advance for taking the time to share your experiences and recommendations. 🙏

Looking forward to hearing from you all, and thanks again for this amazing group!

Quick Question: Im filling out the form. How do I add my husband & Kids., Dont see the option. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am planning to relocate to Thailand with my partner and would like to obtain a five-year DTV based on soft skills. I intend to pursue online education while developing culinary skills. (I would likento find remote work after I graduate) My boyfriend plans to secure a teaching position after six months of exploring our desired location. Can we both enter on a soft DTV and subsequently find employment as teachers, or will he need to apply for a work visa following the expiration of a tourist or education visa?

I also see that maybe if I have a DTV he may be able to apply to one afterwards. I want to ensure we won't have to do so many runs if he can help it. I know the DTV is new butbif anyone has experience with this please comment. Any advice is welcome but please be kind 😇

We are about to apply for dependent visas for our children from my DTV visa. They have 1 year and 2 weeks in their passports. Is the required 1 year on a passport taken from when the embassy approves a visa or from when you arrive in the country and your passport is stamped with the visa? Thanks!

Hi, are dependents allowed on the ED Plus visa extension for one year after graduation? I know dependents are permitted on the ED Plus visa during studies, but I want to know if anyone has seen a case where dependents were allowed during the one-year extension period after graduation.

Leaving to Jakarta on November 16th-22nd (no flight back yet) to apply for my DTV, wife and kid as dependent. I will apply Monday morning for the visa.

1) Would I need more time than that?.

2) Do I need to apply for my visa first then apply for my dependents after mine has been approved?

Do you have to show $14k in finances per person applied for or per family? I’m currently looking to get the DTV for myself and get DTV dependent visas for my son and wife, but I don’t currently have $42k to show. Confused on this rule.

DTV dependent question....USA applicant.

Does anyone know if the dependents need to create their own account on the e-visa Thailand website? Or can we submit the dependent applications through my account?

Curious if I'm going to have to create an account for my 3-year old.
