@Peter ******
it is not a ED visa.

It is a "leisure" tourist visa.

No requirement but to enjoy Thailand.

It's crazy but it's true.

@Helen *******
as this is brand new for all.

Did you apply at the same time ?

or has the primary already obtained the visa?

In some visas the primary obtains theirs first, then the dependants apply with the appropriate documentation, proof of relationship, visa etc.

If you all applied at once I wonder if that may be why.

No Thai dependant visas require funds, as per BKK this is the same.

I asked this exact question and was answered 500k per family NOT per applicant.

I hope that they are able to sort it out, for many that would be a deterrent.

Just to note, this was asked during an official immigration information program.

@Jessy *****
contact the embassy directly and they will tell.you how to bypass the requirement for a dependant.

@Sabine ****************
so the applications are all similar.

In the case of asking for finances for dependant I would recommend uploading the primary person's bank statement or you could try creating a photo that says not applicable.

This works with non-o visas when they are asking for things that don't apply.

OR contact the embassy directly on how they want to see it.

OFFICIALLY And verified it is 500k per family.

However the evisa sites etc are not up to speed.

@Sam ********
yes it is a multientry visa officially.

And I have official clarification from Thai immigration.

@Eric ****
no not overstay but a "denial of extension " still not a great stamp to have.

Not so much for Thailand but other countries may frown upon a denial or overstay stamp.
Chris *******
No only the primary has the financial burden 500k.

Dependants are just that.

You cannot cancel a 90 day visa, you can only cancel extensions.

At the end of your 90 day visa, apply for an extension and get denied, they will give you 7 days to leave Thailand.

@Sam ********
no it is a multientry visa, as crazy as it sounds you only have to qualify once.

As long as you leave every 179 days.
