TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is facing difficulties with the e-visa application process for their family, specifically encountering issues when trying to make the payment after receiving a 'ready to submit' message. Comments suggest checking for incomplete fields, clarify the type of visa being applied for, mention that some visa applications (like the TDAC) are free, and provide technical advice about using the application on different devices.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

I applied for an E visa , I and downloaded everything they asked for. I paid the fee, & got a receipt The next day they emailed me saying they wanted more information & a better picture of my passport. I sent them off the same day, & when I checked the progress, it said SUBMITTED, I got the visa two days later. All in all the process took 5 days. From the London embassy

perhaps applying for a visa using a phone for each family member is more difficult.

land that you "own" in Thailand (which you actually do not own) is irrelevant. You need to prove you are married to a Thai wife for the application to the initial 90-days Non-Imm-O family visa, and you need 400,000 THB in your Thai bank account. On Immigration, you need to prove your marriage is acknowledged and registered inside Thailand, to be able to apply for the 1-year stay permit

okay, so it should be easy peasy to apply for a 90-days Non-Imm-O Family Visa through the online E-Visa system of a Thai Embassy in a neighbouring country. You need to fulfill the financial proof. Either a minimum of 400,000 THB in a Thai bank account in your sole name, or an income affidavit of your embassy in Bangkok.

Maybe there is something you have not entered, go back through it and look for a highlighted red box.
