Have a complex application - husband is eligible for retirement visa with decent UK income. I am 48 and his dependant. We also have an 18 yr old who is an online A-level student for the next 12 or 24 months (exam dependent) then he will be off to uni in the UK.

We are currently travelling in Egypt on a 6 month tourist visa.

Should we apply to the embassy here in Cairo ? Or do we come for a visit to Thailand and then apply there using an agent? Not sure what is the easiest and best way to apply.

Thanks for any advice - appreciated much!

Does anyone know, if a husband and wife are applying for a DTV through a Muay Thai gym, is it enough for one person to apply to the program and then their spouse can apply by being the spouse of the person training at the Muay Thai gym? Or would they both need to buy a membership from the gym to qualify?

Hey Guys,

I have seen conflicting information so I was hoping I could get some clarification. I am in Hanoi processing my DTV. I am going to be adding my husband as a dependent. It looks like I have to wait for my visa to be approved before applying for him. Do we need to stay out of the country until both of the visas are approved? Would rather not stay in Vietnam so long. Can I add him to my visa from Thailand?

Hi guys, those who have applied for dependant DTV (children) from Vietnam…roughly how long did it take to get approved?

TIA

Hi everyone,

I’m pretty new to this so please excusey ignorance on it all but wondering if anyone has experience in applying with a dependant?

My partner and I currently live in Australia and although we are not married, have a legally registered relationship and share a partner visa here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated 😃

Hi everyone,

After my father’s passing, my 56-year-old mother wants to move to Thailand to be closer to me. I’m currently living in Thailand on a DTV visa, but she doesn’t have the 800,000 baht required for the retirement visa. Our French embassy still issues income declarations, but they’re solely based on honor without any verification.

If she comes to Thailand without a visa, can we use the French embassy’s income declaration for her initial O visa application? By the end of the first year, she will have the 12 monthly payments of 65,000 baht required for renewal.

Thank you in advance for your advice!

Quick question, I am holding dependant dtv visa, do I have to enter thailand with the main dtv holder ? If so, is it everytime? Or just the first time? Thanks a lot

Can someone or visa agency provide recommendations for bilingual schools (EP programme) for two children, aged 11 years old and their Mom with Chinese passports? In Bangkok, preferably near Sathorn area, not international schools with high school fees. Must be able to apply for student visa and dependant visa for the Mom. Thank you in advance!

If I apply to add my 19 year old daughter to my DTV ( yep I realise we both need 20,000 au in our accounts) will her visa remain valid for 5 years or expire when she turns 20? ( we can both meet the other requirement). Thank you

Hi folks. I would like to share that the Thai Embassy in Penang(Malaysia) no longer issue the 90 Days Non-O Visa for Dependant based on spouse's Non-O Retirement Visa. My wife got her 1 Year Retirement Visa in Chiang Mai recently.

Please take note of the new regulation.

Here is a reply from <thaiconsulate.pen@gmail.com> that I received yesterday morning. You may further verify with them if you wish.
