to;dr dependent spouse entering Thailand later and not sure how this affects the visa process 

My friend has a wife here with NonB visa and will have the work permit soon. He is looking to join her in Thailand on a dependent visa. The employer says no problem about the dependent visa, but is unsure if they can do it due to not traveling together. Anyone has experience with this?

Answer summary

A dependent spouse can apply for a Non-O visa in Thailand even if they are entering the country separately from the primary visa holder (who holds a Non-B visa). As long as the primary visa holder has a valid visa and meets all other requirements, the dependent spouse can proceed with the application.

As long as the main person (who is Non-B in this case) has valid visa/extension and the applicant meets the requirements (including documents from the employer, remaining period on his stamp, etc), he can apply for Non-O dependent on a foreigner who are permitted to stay in Thailand legally. It doesn't matte at all if they enter Thailand together or on different dates.
