Another one. Validity of not less than 6 months: meaning expiry time or date of issue?

Wow. Thanks Garret.

So in a nutshell: if I have a work (non- B) visa, work permit and -contract, and we are married with a child together, she can basically shadow my visa. Meaning her non-o visa is valid as long as my non-b visa? And do we / she have to apply outside Thailand?
