TLDR : Answer Summary
A spouse visa generally refers to a foreigner married to a Thai citizen. If you are married to a foreigner working in Thailand, you may need to apply for a Dependent/Family Visa instead. This can be done by applying for a Non-O Dependent Visa either from outside Thailand (valid for 90 days) or by converting your status upon arrival using Form TM86, which can be subsequently extended for one year.
90 DAY REPORTING RESOURCES / SERVICES
  • Use the trusted Thailand 90 Day Reporting Service to get your in-person report done and mailed to you for as low as 375 THB (even if the online system doesn't work for you).
  • For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
  • Join the Thai Visa Advice Facebook Group to ask your questions, and get advice from others.

An actual "Spouse Visa" usually refers to a foreigner married to a Thai. I believe you are actually inquiring about a Dependent/Family Visa, which is when you are married to or child of a Foreigner working in Thailand. In this case, you can either apply outside of Thailand for a Non-O Dependent Visa, which is valid for 90 days; or you can apply inside Thailand after arrival by converting using Form TM86, and can then be extended later for 1 year.

your husband needs to speak to his employer as nothing will happen without their agreement.

only if her husband's employer provides permission for her to do so.
