Question about the dependants visa.

Is this their own visa or is it tied to the original visa somehow. As in, can they travel in/out separately? Renew separately?

My hubs and I own a commercial property we lease out in the US. Hoping this would suffice for DTV. Wondering if we should do the DTV + dependent or both get our own DTV. We often travel separately as we have different interests.

Our family bank account has both our names on it, will this be a problem when we apply?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers

Hi all,

I am a DTV holder and would like my girlfriend to get it too. She has to do it from scratch and me having it has no influence right? Or I can do something for her?

Thanks!

Hi, my wife and I are planning to move to Chiang Mai in January 2026. I am 52 and am going to apply for Non OA visa here in the UK. My wife however is 45 (she is also a UK citizen) and doesn’t qualify for a retirement visa. Am I right in thinking she would apply for a non O visa as a dependant here in the UK, the travel with me to Thailand and apply for an extension of the O at immigration in Thailand during her 90 day stay. Am I missing something obvious? We have all the financial means so that’s not an issue. Any advice would be welcome.

I need some help understanding my current situation, if anyone has been through this, or knows what needs to be done.

Background - I am a foreign national working in Thailand, holding a Non-Imm B visa. I gave birth to a son this January and I checked with Immigration about his non-O visa, they said to get it once he leaves the country before he comes back.

We're visiting home (Ireland) for 15 days this mid-July, so we would need to apply for his non-O while we are there so that he can have it when we're back in Bkk.

Here's where I have a few questions:

1. I cannot apply for it when we're in Bkk, I need to wait until we reach Ireland to apply for it. The consular says I need 15 working days for the visa to come through, but Thai eVisa says it's 3-10 working days. (Going to the consulate is also not an option because the only one for the UK and Ireland is in London.) We don't have 15 working days, so can I actually apply for it anyway before we go?

2. If yes, the online form asks for proof that he is in Ireland. I emailed the consulate to ask what I could use to prove this. They replied with "local utility bills," which obviously he won't have. For this, could I just use my Thailand rental agreement? But that won't prove that he's currently in Ireland, so I'm unsure what would work here.

3. If I can't get the visa on time, he can obviously come back visa-free, but I don't know the process to change that to a non-O dependent visa - if someone could share that with me.

Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

Question for dtv visa with spouse.

Will I need to show 1mil baht on the statements? The bank accounts are joint.

I have my own business but and wife doesn’t technically have any income.

Should she just submit her own and use the joint statements?

Do I sponsor her?

Any help is appreciated!

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.
