How should I apply for a DTV visa for my family while moving to Thailand?

DTV Visa Thailand Visa Visa Application Process Family Visa Accommodations Flights Freelancers in Thailand

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello! I'm a freelance web developer in the US using the LA embassy/consulate/location. Myself, my spouse and two kids are working on coming to Thailand for 6-9 months with border hops along the way to reset our stay. I'm most of the way through applying for my DTV but we need to book our accommodations and flight. A couple of questions.

1. Do I apply and get accepted for DTV visa first and then do I apply for DTV visas for each of my family members after?

2. Do accommodations need to be exact or does approximate work? We don't fully know where we'll be staying and we haven't booked our flights yet. Can we provide what we think we're going to do?

Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

A freelance web developer from the US inquired about the application process for the DTV visa for himself and his family, specifically whether he needs to apply for his visa before those of his spouse and kids, and if approximate accommodation details would suffice when applying. Responses clarified that the primary applicant should secure their DTV visa first, followed by dependent applications, and that providing estimated accommodation information is acceptable.

We looked up a flight number two months in advance when applying. A name of the place where you might be staying is enough. First the DTV Visa holder applies, after approval apply for the rest of the family, supplying the visa number to all dependents.

I put the address where I stay and the flight number.

The LA office did not ask for more details.
