TLDR : Answer Summary

The user from India is experiencing issues with obtaining a dependent visa for Thailand after receiving a rejection based on their husband's work permit duration. The consulate indicated that the dependent visa can only be granted if the husband’s work permit is extended to two years. The user seeks clarification on whether this is a strict regulation or misinformation, and if other Indians face similar issues with dependent visas in Thailand.

By the time you apply for visa, your husband's work permit and visa must be valid atleast for the next 90 days.

Just enter on a tourist visa. If your husband is working legally here and meets all requirements, you can change it to a dependant visa inside Thailand.

. Like any other visa issue... you go to immigration office.

Same answer as your last post about getting an extension.

Someone is telling you wrong information. Work visas and work permits are for a maximum one year anyway. Renewals and extensions are also maximum one year.

Or you are confused about the reason your visa was denied.

Can I be attached to my husband's 3-month Non-B visa as a dependent while working remotely in Thailand?
