Can I add dependents to my Non-Immigrant O visa in Thailand?
I made a trip to Indonesia, after emailing Thai consulate multiple times confirming it would work, and just got rejected.
Has anyone had success adding dependents for a non-immigrant-O visa in the last few months?
I have received emails from Los Angeles, and Jakarta Thai Consulate saying “Only the holder of a Non-Immigrant OA or OX is allowed to have their dependent applied for a Non-Immigration O.”

Summary so far
The post discusses the recent rejection of an attempt to add dependents to a Non-Immigrant O visa while traveling to Indonesia. The user mentions having confirmed this process with various Thai consulates, which led to their surprise at the rejection. Commenters clarify that typically, dependents can only be added to Non-Immigrant OA or OX visas and not to Non-O visas, particularly if the holder is a retiree. There are suggestions to switch to the correct visa type (OA or OX) to achieve the goal. Additional experiences and advice from other users indicate similar challenges faced when attempting to add dependents under the Non-O visa category.

Because you don’t have a Non-OA or OX visa, you don’t qualify. Just change to the correct visa to accomplish your goal.

We Tried non O to stay with non Thai spouse family in Vientiane Laos they only granted her a TR single entry.
Kota Bhuru said couldn't be done so did Savannakhet. By email.
Immigration chonburi and Bangkok suggests it can be done on the back of non O out of Thailand (she is under 50) & said just try other countries Thai consulates.
I did have an offer from an agent
,. it involved getting a sticker visa for Laos ? From Laos embassy first + 30,000 bath. Agent costs??sticker visa ??
Not an evisa they specified sticker
I would like to know how people are doing it
At immigration In country they said if over 50 they can change TR to a non O.

Pretty much no consulate will allow dependants to be added to a Non-O visa, particularly if the Non-O holder is a retiree
