Legal spouses and unmarried children under 20 years old of an approved DTV holder may apply as dependents.
Can my spouse apply together with me for the DTV Visa?
Yes, your spouse can apply, but they cannot apply at the same time on a single joint application. Because visas are tied to individuals, the primary applicant must apply first and receive their visa before the spouse can apply as a dependent.
Can children apply as dependents under the DTV Visa?
Yes. Unmarried children under 20 years old may qualify as dependents.
Can dependents stay in Thai for the same duration as the main DTV holder?
Generally, dependents receive permission linked to the primary DTV holder’s visa status and validity.
