Who can join as a dependent
Dependents of a DTV holder can apply — each with their own application:
Legal spouses
A legally married spouse of the main DTV applicant.
Children under 20
Unmarried children under 20 years old.
Applying together
The main applicant already holds — or is applying for — a DTV.
How to get your DTV
Check your eligibility
Answer a few quick questions below to confirm the family route fits — under a minute.
Prepare relationship proof
A marriage certificate (spouse) or birth certificate (child). We can help you obtain or translate these.
Prepare funds & passports
Passports plus proof of 500,000 THB — a joint account or the main applicant's funds is sometimes accepted; we confirm for your case.
We sequence & submit
We coordinate the main applicant's and dependents' applications and submit from outside Thailand. 100% refund if denied (with the optional paid Denial Protection add-on).

Family & dependent DTV FAQ
Who qualifies as a dependent?
A legal spouse and unmarried children under 20 can each apply as dependents of a DTV holder, with their own applications.
Does each dependent need 500,000 THB?
Many embassies ask each dependent to show 500,000 THB on three months of statements; a joint account or the main applicant's funds is sometimes accepted — we'll confirm for your case.
Does the main applicant need a DTV first?
A dependent visa can be granted once the main applicant holds — or is applying for — a DTV. We help you sequence the applications.
What documents prove the relationship?
A marriage certificate for a spouse or a birth certificate for a child. We can help you obtain or translate these.
Can we apply from inside Thailand?
No — the DTV must be applied for from outside Thailand through the official online e-Visa system.
