My husband has a valid non-immigrant visa and work permit. My minor children and I are currently in Thailand on 30-day exemptions. We plan to go to Vientiane to apply for our dependent visas. Does my husband need to accompany us?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The husband does not need to accompany the family for the dependent visa applications in Vientiane, but necessary documentation such as copies of his passport, marriage and birth certificates, his work permit, and a company letter is required.

Yes, but you have to scroll all the way down to the April announcement. That will get buried under more and more new announcements with time.
I would rather they have a set of instructions, rather than a haphazard list of announcements.
(Example:
1. You must make an appt.
2. Each person needs their own appointment.
3. Bring a copy of your appointment print-out.
4. Bring your passport.
5. Etc. etc.)
Again, no big deal. But step-by-step directions would make the process easier for everyone.

Yep, I’ve done my homework *this* time, so I’ve seen the announcement. I must say, it would be more helpful if they actually told you this on the page where you actually make appointments. But oh well. Live & learn.

Not forgetting you need seperate accounts and appointments for each child at Vientiane.

Haha, oh, I know. My husband’s workplace /coworker advised us to make a single appointment. So we’ve already been to Vientiane and turned away once. 😬 (That’s why I’m hoping to spare my husband the return trip, so he doesn’t miss even more work.)

no but you'll need copies of his passport, the marriage certificates, the birth certificates, his contract, his work permit, and a letter from the company stating it's okay that you guys get Non-O visas
