Hello everyone. My employer eventually

sent me to go get my non B Visa at Vientiane. However, I am here with my wife who is my dependent. My question is, what type of Visa can my wife gets in order to be here legally until I get my work permit? Also what should I expect when I get to Vientiane next week. I need your advice please. Thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster is seeking advice about the visa options for their wife, who is accompanying them to Vientiane to obtain a Non-B visa. Comments suggest that the wife can apply for a Non-O visa based on their marriage. It is essential to schedule appointments for both visas and gather necessary documents, including a legalized marriage certificate if not registered in Thailand. Costs for the visas and appointment information were also mentioned.

I did the same last month in Vientiane, you need to make an appointment first (hopefully at the same time with your wife) . Ask your employer to provide you all docs for your wife as well. She will be applying for non O visa. Also if your marriage is not registered in Thailand you will need the original certificate legalized by the embassy of your country and a translation to English and Thai.

With all docs you shouldn't have any problems. The cost for non o and non b for single entry 90 days is 2000 baht. Good luck

They gave you the link, set up an account and make an appointment, set up an account for your wife and make an appointment. Alternative: Visit another Thai Consulate.

Your wife would apply for a 90 day single entry Non-O visa based on marriage to a foreigner who legally works here on a Non-B and she can apply at the same time you apply for your Non-B visa

As Ron posted earlier, even children need to make an appointment if they are with their parents who apply for the visa.

If you going to make the appointment make sure you make two appointments, one for you and another one for your wife.
