TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is seeking advice on the fastest way to obtain a DTV visa for their move to Thailand, timed with their husband's Non-B visa approval. Responses suggest applying as a dependent on the husband's visa once it is approved, mention various countries and cities for visa applications (specifically ranking Yangon, Myanmar, and Hanoi, Vietnam as faster options), and note that applying in certain locations may lead to quicker processing.

The fastest, with the least amount of applicants, is the Thai embassy in Yangon Myanmar.

You should be a dependant on his nonb visa extension once he had the year its easy.

Possibly, if you apply for evisa they may grant you one once his is approved.

Dependant on nonb is relatively easy with no Financials for the dependant.
