My husband, my child, and I will be moving to Thailand this year on soft power DTV (cooking classes). Since my husband is not my child’s biological father, which option makes most sense?

1) I apply for the DTV and later have them both apply as my dependents (would prefer to have husband take classes so I can be home with my child)

2) Husband applies for DTV and I apply as a spouse. Once I’m approved, I submit another application for my child under my visa.

My concern is that we cannot submit an application for the child under his visa. Please help me understand if I may be missing something. Thank you!

Hi! My husband and I are both eligible for the DTV visa and meet all the requirements. I'm wondering whether it’s easier for one of us to apply first and sponsor the other as a spouse, or if we should apply separately. Also, I haven’t been able to find any information on the spouse visa fee. If anyone has gone through this process, I’d really appreciate any advice! Thank you

Husband and I (separate applications) both just rejected in HCMC, both soft power, both with Discover Thai Nature seminar. Spoke with the owner there who says the seminar has been getting rejected in several places, but was just accepted in Manila and Germany. All that said, does anyone have any first hand experience of rejection in one city, but applying in another?
