Looking for advice please.

M 59 , Applying for OA visa in london.

Will my husaband 42 M be able to apply for O visa , 90 days then get extension of stay as my dependent ?
Summary so far
The user is seeking advice on whether their husband can apply for a dependent O visa while they are applying for an OA visa in London. A comment mentions that there have been no successful reports regarding applications for a Non-Imm-O Visa as a trailing spouse for same-gender married couples due to recent legal changes in Thailand regarding same-sex marriage. It is suggested to contact the Royal Thai Embassy for accurate information, as the immigration offices may not yet be prepared for these new rules.

sorry to say, we have no reports yet, of successful applications to a "trailing spouse" Non-Imm-O Visa for same gender married couples. You should ask your question accuratley and politely formulated, by an email to the Royal Thai Embassy in London. This is the only way you can get 100% reliable information onto how you can obtain a longstay permit in Thailand and your partner possibly be able to go "piggyback" on your 1-year Extension of Stay . . This group cannot give you any hints, as the legalization of same sex marriages just happened a few months ago, and the relevant authorities, mainly the Immigration offices in Thailand, might not yet be ready to cope with such new rules

I would definitely contact the embassy, as many will issue the non-O trailing spouse visa based on the other spouse having a non-OA visa. The only wrinkle is if your embassy has started recognizing same-sex marriage yet. I don't see why they wouldn't, as I've seen reports of DTV being issued like this.
