Does my daughter need to travel with her father every time when her DTV only has his name?

We applied for our daughter to be a dependent on our DVTs. As part of the application we provided screenshots of both the mother and father’s DTV.

On our daughter’s DTV it only has the father’s name. Does this means she MUST be with the father every time she enters the country?

My wife was hoping to maybe take her on a few trips with just the two of them, but we’re now worried this won’t be an option as she’ll need me (father) to be present every time she’s entering.

Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The concern about whether a daughter must travel with her father when her DTV has only his name was addressed by community members. It was clarified that she can travel independently as she holds her own DTV. However, an additional point was made about the potential challenges in extending her DTV if the primary holder (father) does not also extend theirs.

The only issue she might have is extending her DTV inside Thailand if the primary DTV holder doesn't also extend. But why would she want to do that

No, she does not always have to travel with her father. My kids have flown unaccompanied minor. Its their own visa
