Howuch did you need In Your bank account ? 500k baht for each person or just theain holder of the dtv ?

My husband and I work remote from us companies . We just hook our stuff up to the router in our condo . Works just fine . I'm a social media marketing manager so when I make posts I just schedule them for USA Time

@Biff ******

yeah that's what I think we're going to do. The agent man we spoke to said that the business visa might be our best route to go . Which would be great for my husband he's an engineer . And surrounding countries is where our materials are made . And we want Thailand to be our forever home .

We can pay for the dtv but taking money out of investments just doesn't seem right .

Thank you for the insight . And thanks for not being a jerk . Far to many of them out there .

@Biff ******

that's a great idea . Thank you .we go back to Bangkok tomorrow . Both my daughters see doctors there . One for mental health . And my newborn was born in Bangkok so we do have some leeway. We just wanna do things right .

@Thomas *******

we were thinking of going there . But we literally got our newborns CRBA like three days before we planned on leaving and we already had plane tickets etc .

So when we get back to Thailand were hoping it all runs smoothly . We heard people saying you only get 30 days now . But from our understanding that hasn't been passed yet .

We get a lot of harsh comments about us coming here without the dtv originally . But we came here to look for places see what we liked etc . Then I had my baby early so we got an apartment for a year lease already . And we were super hyped for the DTVs then we got hot with we all need the funds . Fingers crossed it all works out !

@Thomas *******

no were in Bangkok . We have a shared account as well 2 older kids 13 & 11 and a new born 8 weeks .

We're in Cambodia right now so we can go back for new stamps on Friday . And we're gonna go the business visa route . We met a guy that said it was better for our family as it could be very expensive for us .

We have a shared bank account with the 15k in it and have maintained that for months now . We both work remote . I'm a social media marketing manager . And he's an engineer in car audio for I believe 7 companies .we could transfer the total amount from investments but it just doesn't sit right with us .

The agent did state that it depends on where you apply . But a ton of people were even saying that all surrounding countries never asked . So we're gonna go back to Thailand on Friday and contact the agent , lawyer etc to hopefully see how we can go about the business visa .

And if all else fails we will do the DTV .

For wife and kids you only needed to show $15,000 ?

We were told each person needed to have the 15,000

I'm so confused 😕 we didn't believe it so went to like 4 different agencies that all told us the same thing .

I have a newborn . And was able to get an emergency passport for her within in 24 hours . We had to leave for stamps . Bit because her time of birth it was taking to long for her actual passport . We were issued the emergency passport which is good for 1 year

So our lease was up in October of 2024 . And our landlord said they'd do month to month for us . But that fell through I was also pregnant . And we didn't want to wait until baby was old enough to fly comfortably . On top of switching doctors . My older daughter also has mental health issues so we also didn't want her to continue seeing a specific doctor in Vegas . So we flew here end of December . Stayed in a hotel bnb for 2 weeks .

We contacted global travel mate (you tuber ) he got us in contact with sukhimivit homes out here in Bangkok we found an apartment . We are renting now .

We were planning on the DTV spouse and children . Bit we're turned away from that option as it's extremely expensive . I know people say all surrounding countries are different . But we've reached do it to them and they have responded with each individual no matter the age needs to have 500k baht . We met a gentleman that said a business visa would probably work out better for us . My husband is an engineer so we're looking at a few other options . Going to speak with a lawyer and a agent who were recommended by the same people who helped us with our apartment .

You may get lucky but just depends on what type of dtv visa you are applying for . And how many people are in you family .

We're a family of 5 we were told we needed $75,000 usd to apply for the dtv . Best of luck

Anonymous participant 319 maybe not misinformation . But we were under the impression that we only needed 500k baht . But in reality every individual needs 500k baht . We were told the dtv wouldn't be a smart choice for our family .

Even tho there's a ton of people in this group saying that they only needed one person with 500k baht .

But no where on any websites does it state we all need 500k baht .

For my family that's $75,000 usd 😵‍💫

We didn't think it was true so we asked a few agents and it's 100% true .
