SAWATDEE KHA, when I apply for my DTV and my husband as my dependant, would he need to enter Thailand the same time I do or can he come afterwards? TIA
Answer summary
When applying for a DTV visa and including your husband as a dependent, he does not need to enter Thailand at the same time as you. Once he receives his own separate visa as a dependent, he can travel independently.

It a separate visa ,

Once he gets it it is his own visa to come and go as he pleases.

It’s only linked to you for qualification purposes once he has it that’s it
