TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the possibility of extending a short-term Dependant Visa for their spouse, obtained from their home country, to last longer than three months. Responses indicate that visa extensions are possible but require employer support and cannot exceed the duration of the primary work permit holder's visa. Alternatives such as an ED visa may be discussed based on the nationality of the spouse.

Is your wife a Thai national? If not, you will need to choose other options for obtaining a visa such as ED visa etc.

You can get an extension for dependent but you need to check with your employer first as they also need to support this and provide paperwork for the application at immigration. Then once you have that you go to immigration and apply for the extension, but it wont' be for a full year, it will only be as long as the employee's extension is.
