Does my husband need to enter Thailand at the same time as I do when I apply for a DTV visa with him as my dependent?

ORIGINAL POSTERSAWATDEE 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
TLDR : 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

Do we apply separately for the DTV visa as a married couple or is there a joint application process?
