TLDR : Answer Summary

If you hold a dependant DTV visa, you are not required to enter Thailand with the main DTV visa holder. You can enter and exit Thailand independently of the main visa holder at any time. However, you might be questioned about your visa status upon entry, so it's advisable to have a reasonable explanation prepared.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

Two visas are independent of each other. Either you have the visa sticker in your passport or a separate pdf announcing your visa approval, I assume.

You have the DTV. The reason why you were issued it are irrelevant. It’s your visa. You come and go as you please.

There is no restriction to enter Thailand with main participant.

You can go in and out as you wish but you can be questioned sometime about your status. You should make a reasonable answer.
