When applying for DTV as a family (not married so two separate applications) with two kids under 16 do we need 500,000 per person including the kids or just 500,000 per adult? And I’m assuming we can add our children onto our application? Will be applying from London, England. can’t seem to find a proper answer online, have emailed the embassy but waiting on a reply. Thanks in advance.
My partner has a DTV and we are getting married in a few months and I was thinking to get a DTV off his as a spouse. Would I need to follow the same rules for the financial part or can I get away with a sponsor letter as my partner will be the one supporting financially whenever we are in Thailand
Do you need to show that you’ve had 500K in your account for 3 months before applying for a DTV visa? I’m from the UK. Will my business account suffice?
I know it has been covered many times re: 12 months of 65,000 bank deposit for the FIRST non-o one year extension not being able to be used. BUT after several phone calls to the Phuket IO both in Thai and English, they say we can.
I guess only a trip there will give the real answer. We also have the 800,000 ready just in case. WE ALL KNOW WHY!!
Thanks to this group, I got a lot of useful information. I’d also like to share my experience here in case it helps others.
Embassy: Hanoi
Visa type: Workation

Timeline
* Dec 9 – Applied
* Dec 10 – Asked for additional documents (bank statement & more proof of income)
* Dec 13 – Submitted required documents
* Dec 22 – Application approved
My biggest lesson
I did not keep the 500,000 THB in my account for 3 months. I transferred the money at the beginning of December(which I do not recommend). It’s safer to keep the funds in your account for at least 3 months.
If you’re preparing to apply, I suggest reading more posts in this group to understand the requirements better.
But I spent a lot of time organizing my portfolio and bank documents to make sure everything was logical and clear to read, and I also demonstrated a stable source of income, maybe that helped😅
Documents I submitted
Bank statement section
1. Cover letter briefly explaining what documents were included
2. Bank statement showing 500,000 THB (last 6 months)
3. Income bank account statement (last 6 months)
4. One-year fixed deposit of 500,000 THB to compensate for the short holding period
Portfolio
1. Brief self-introduction (what I do and where my income comes from)
2. Proof of financial stability:
* Monthly income records (last 6 months)
* Professional profile page
* Income platform backend statistics
3. Statement of intent
Tools I used to prepare the documents
* ChatGPT & Gemini – to structure documents
* DeepL – to translate documents into English (free trial works well)
* iLovePDF & PDFgear – to compress and edit PDF files
Hope this helps, and good luck to everyone applying! 🫶
I just started my DTV application and was obtaining the various documents I'll need. I was thinking that my Trading 212 Cash ISA would be fine as evidence for the at least 500,000 THB for at least the past 3 months. But I'm seeing conflicting information on this and now I'm unsure. Among other savings accounts and current account, I definitely have more than the 500,000 THB, but I'm also unsure if they will accept it being spread around like this (although I don't see why not to be honest).
So two questions: 1. Is the Trading 212 Cash ISA acceptable, and 2. Is it acceptable to have several accounts as evidence all of which sum to more than the 500,000 THB (for the required minimum of 3 months)?
