Should I apply for my Thailand residency first before my wife's, or can we apply together?

ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus is that you cannot apply for residency together as your application must be approved first. Once you have your residency, your wife can then apply as a dependent. Alternatively, if you both have separate accounts with the required balance, you could apply individually, which may expedite the process.
